Generic data type (ANY)
The generic data type indicates data type of a label which combines several basic data types. The data type name begins with
"ANY".
The generic data type is used when multiple data types are available in arguments or return values etc. of a function of a
function block.
Labels defined as generic data types can be used for any sub-level data type.
For the types of generic data types and the primitive data types, refer to the following.
