| A | All types except uint8/int8 | read | Auxiliary Area |
| W | All types except uint8/int8 | read/write | Work Area |
| H | All types except uint8/int8 | read/write | Holding Area |
| D | All types except uint8/int8 | read/write | Data Memory Area |
| P | All types except uint8/int8, but bit only supports read | read/write | PVs |
| F | int8/uint8 | read | Flag Area |
| EM | All types except uint8/int8 | read/write | Extended Memory |
Example:
| Address | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| F0 | uint8 | F area, address is 0 |
| F1 | int8 | F area, address is 1 |
| CIO1 | int16 | CIO area, address is 1 |
| CIO2 | uint16 | CIO area, address is 2 |
| A2 | int32 | A area, address is 2 |
| A4 | uint32 | A area, address is 4 |
| W5 | float | W area, address is 5 |
| W10 | float | W area, address is 10 |
| H20 | double | H area, address is 20 |
| H30 | uint32 | H area, address is 30 |
| D10 | int32 | D area, address is 10 |
| D20 | float | D area, address is 20 |
| EM10W100 | float | EM10 area, address is 100 |
.BIT
Optional, referring to a bit of an address.
.LEN[H][L]
When the data type is string type, it is a required, .LEN indicates the length of the string, including H and L two endianness, the default is H .
