■Generic data type
The generic data type is the data type of the labels which summarize several primitive data types.
Generic data types are used when multiple data types are allowed for arguments and return values of functions or function
blocks.
Labels defined in generic data types can be used in any sub-level data type.
Data type (label)
*1
ANY ANY_SIMPLE ANY_ELEMENTARY
*1
ANY_STRUCT
STRUCT
*1 Can also be used as an array.
■Generic data type (array)
For the following generic data type, define the number of array elements.
