BLUE supports the following data types.

Bit size | Character String | Signed | Unsigned | Float | String | Date and Time
1-bit | BOOL | - | - | - | - | -
8-bit | BYTE | SINT | USINT | - | STRING | -
16-bit | WORD | INT | UINT | - | WSTRING | -
32-bit | DWORD | DINT | UDINT | REAL | - | TIME TIME_OF_DAY (TOD) DATE DATE_AND_TIME (DT)
64-bit | LWORD | LINT | ULINT | LREAL | - | -

The usable device address range depends on the bit size. For the address range, see the corresponding Device/PLC Manual.

When the External device is an 8-bit device:

1-bit: Corresponds to the Bit Address range

8-bit: Corresponds to the Word Address range plus 1

16-bit: Corresponds to the Word Address range

32-bit: Corresponds to the Word Address range minus 2

64-bit: Corresponds to the Word Address range minus 6

When the External device is a 16-bit device:

1-bit: Corresponds to the Bit Address range

8-bit: Corresponds to the Word Address range

16-bit: Corresponds to the Word Address range

32-bit: Corresponds to the Word Address range minus 1

64-bit: Corresponds to the Word Address range minus 3

When the External device is a 32-bit device:

1-bit: Corresponds to the Bit Address range

8-bit: Corresponds to the Word Address range

16-bit: Corresponds to the Word Address range

32-bit: Corresponds to the Word Address range

64-bit: Corresponds to the Word Address range minus 1
