Number Constants

Overview

Number values can appear as binary numbers, octal numbers, decimal numbers, and hexadecimal numbers. Integer values that are not decimal numbers are represented by the base followed by the number sign (#) in front of the integer constant. The values for the numbers 10...15 in hexadecimal numbers are represented by the letters A...F.

You can include the underscore character within the number.

Examples

14

2#1001_0011

Implicit conversions from larger to smaller variable types are not permitted. This means that a DINT variable cannot simply be used as an INT variable. Use the type conversion functions.
