.BIT
It can only be used in non-bit type area, which means to read the specified bit of the specified address, and the binary bit index range is [0, 15].
| Address | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| D20.0 | bit | D area, address is 20, bit 0 |
| D20.2 | bit | D area, address is 20, bit 2 |
.LEN[H][L]
When the data type is string, .LEN indicates the length of the string; H and L can be optional to indicate two byte orders, the default is H byte order.
