Optional parameter - data interpretation.
For device types (device code) that have word data, the default interpretation is WORD (e.g. SD5 address).
For device types (device code) that have bit data, the BIT interpretation is preset (e.g. X5 address)
| Value type | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| BIT | Interpretation of a bit-type device as a bit (e.g. X3, BIT) Interpretation of one bit of word-type device as a bit (e.g. D5.0) |
| WORD | Interpretation of 16 consecutive bit-type devices as a 16-bit unsigned number (e.g. X10, WORD). Interpretation of one word-type device as an unsigned 16-bit number (e.g. SD10, WORD). |
| INT | Interpretation of 16 consecutive bit-type devices as a 16-bit signed number (e.g. X10, INT). Interpretation of one word-type device as a signed 16-bit number (e.g. SD10, INT). |
| DWORD | Interpretation of 32 consecutive bit-type devices as a 32-bit unsigned number (e.g. X10, DWORD). Interpretation of 2 consecutive word-type devices as a 32-bit unsigned number (e.g. SD10, DWORD). |
| DINT | Interpretation of consecutive 32 bit-type devices as a 32-bit signed number (e.g. X10, DINT). Interpretation of 2 consecutive word-type devices as a 32-bit signed number (e.g. SD10, DINT). |
| REAL | Interpretation of consecutive 32 bit-type devices as a 32-bit floating-point number (e.g. Y10, REAL). Interpretation of 2 consecutive word-type devices as a 32-bit floating-point number (e.g. SD10, REAL). |
Note: when interpreting 32-bit numbers, the data is interpreted as little-endian (a lower word at lower address, higher at higher address).
