4 LABELS
4.3 Data Type
*1 The time data is used in the time data type function of standard functions. For the standard function, refer to the following.
Programming manual (Instructions, Standard Functions/Function Blocks)
*2 When using a constant for a label of the time data, prefix "T#" to the label.
■Data types of timers and counters
The data types of a timer, retentive timer, counter, and long counter are structures that have contacts, coils, and current
values.
*1 The unit of the current value is specified by instruction name.
*2 When use a long counter in the OUT LC instruction: 0 to 4294967295
When use a long counter in the UDCNTF instruction: -2147483648 to +2147483647
For the operation of each device, refer to the following.
User's manual (Application)
The specification method of each member is the same as the member specification of the structure data type. (Page 28
