I like the way you explained BOOL and REAL with the type of input it was. That helps understand what those are used for other than the number of digits in a row they represent.

[@lebogangntlhabane5596]

This was honestly one of the best explanations for the use of a UDT. I have a question, how do I assign a UDT to a physical I/O channel, so hypothetically how would you link the Start_Button and Stop_Button to actual DI's?

Do you create the Machine tags on local or controller tags?

[@myplctraining1238]

in this example I did Controller scoped tags but you could do local/program-scoped tags also.

This CLX 1756-l71 PLCv21 has in the rack with 1756 IB16, 1756 OB16, 1755 IB32, 1756 ENBT/A
