Chapter 2 Organize tags

User-defined data types (structures) let you organize your data to match your

machine or process.

Example: User-defined data type that stores a recipe.

In a system of several tanks, each tank can run a variety of recipes. Because the recipe requires a mix of data types (REAL, DINT, BOOL, so forth), a user-defined data

type is used.

An array that is based on this data type looks like this example.

Item Description

Array of recipes

First recipe

Members of the recipe

Array containing three elements of the TANK data type

User-defined data types
