2. Common objects

Here we present the common features and objects of the programming database. Such objects can be used in any POU (program organization unit: programs, functions or function blocks) written in any SFC, FC, FBD, IL, ST or LD language.

2.1 Data types

Any expression, constant or variable used in a POU (written in any language), must be characterized by a type. Type consistency must be respected in graphical operations and textual instructions.

Types are known by all project resources: types have a common scope. These types are :

  • IEC 61131 standard types ;

  • user types (based on basic types).
