System-defined variables for motion control use both basic data types and derivative data types.
 Basic Data Types
* BOOL data is only 1 bit in size but it takes up 2 bytes of memory.
Data Types Used for System-defined Variables for Motion Control

TRUE or FALSE TRUE or FALSE
Integer UINT 2 0 to +65,535 Binary expression: "2#" is added to the
front of the number
Octal expression: "8#" is added to the
front of the number
Decimal expression: "10#" is added to
the front of the number
Hexadecimal expression: "16#" is added
to the front of the number
If you do not add any notation to the
beginning of a number, that number is
treated as a decimal number.
