Data on the DX

2
Data Type
For a PLC, you can specify the type of read or write data using a file number or tag
name in a command. However, the data type is fixed to INT16 for commands "PLC2
Unprotected Read/Write" and "PLC5 Word Range Read/Write."
On the other hand, the data types on the DX are determined as shown in the following
section, "Data on the DX". For values to be used when the data type specified for a
PLC in a command is different from the type of data on the DX, see "Communication
Considerations" (on Page 14).
