EXAMPLE

Single-dimension array

In this example, a single timer instruction times the duration of several steps. Each step requires
a different preset value. Because all the values are the same data type (DINTs) an array is used.

42367

To expand an array and display its
elements, click the + sign.

To collapse an array and hide
its elements, click the – sign.

This array contains six
elements of the DINT data
type.

Six DINTs
