UDINT(DWORD)
Unsigned 32-bit integer value 0, 4294967295
ULINT(LWORD)
Unsigned 64-bit integer value 0, 18446744073709551615
REAL
32-bit floating point value
-3.4038, +3.4038
LREAL

'"Rotation Speed"
DATE
(1)
Unsigned 32-bit
integer value
1234567
(Date variables are stored as 32-bit words, a positive number
of seconds beginning at 1970-01-01 at midnight GMT.)
TIME
(1)
Unsigned 32-bit
integer value
1234567
(Time variables are stored as 32-bit words, positive number of
milliseconds).
(1) BOOL, DATE, TIME data variables are presented in decimal digital format in the microSD Card. You have the option to convert
this format to a more friendly format. For example, use ANY_TO_STRING function block to convert BOOL data type (0, 1) to
FALSE or TRUE. You can similarly do the same for DATE and TIME data types.
DATE data type is presented in differential decimal digital value between system baseline time (1970/01/01,00:00:00) and
current date value. Unit is millisecond.
Time should be absolute time value. Unit is second.
(2) String data variables are enclosed in double quotation marks in the data log file.
The example below shows DSET1 using string variables and DSET2 using integers.
