CIMPLICITY Data Types vs. Historian Data Types
CIMPLICITY ensures that the data type in Historian is long enough to accommodate the CIMPLICITY data type length.
Data type mapping is as follows.
Data Type | CIMPLICITY | Historian |
Integer | DINT | Double integer |
INT | Double integer | |
REAL | Double float | |
SINT | Double integer | |
UDINT | Double float | |
UINT | Double integer | |
USINT | Double integer | |
Boolean | BOOL | Integer |
BYTE | Double integer | |
DWORD | Double integer | |
WORD | Double integer | |
Text | STRING | Variable string |
STRING_20 | Variable string | |
STRING_8 | Variable string | |
STRING_80 | Variable string |
