Machine Edition Variable Data Types Defined as CIMPLICITY Point Data Types

Machine Edition variable data types and default display format definitions are defined as CIMPLICITY point classes and data types as follows.

Use the CIMPLICITY class and data type that corresponds to the Machine Edition data type when you create a CIMPLICITY device point that accesses a Machine Edition variable.
