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.
MELSEC iQ-F FX5 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.
