PLC programming using TwinCAT 3 - Data types & arrays (Part 4/18)

Video Description

In this part we will dive deeper into the various data types that are available in the IEC 61131-3 standard that TwinCAT implements. We'll also look at pointers and references, and why we would want to use them. After that we will take a look at how to declare and use arrays. We will finish this part by looking at one example of how we can convert one datatype to another.
