really REALLY dumb question here...
I'm new to PLCs, and have been searching for most of the day trying to find an answer. I apologize if this has been asked here, I have searched and cannot find the post.
I'm trying to determine what data types to use for RTDs, PTs, FTs, actuated valves (assuming bool?)
RTDs are analog 4-20, so I'm guessing INT?
PTs and FTs are the same?
I hate guessing, and do not have a mentor available, so I really need some expert advice.
Thank you again, and I apologize many times over if the answer is posted here in an easily accessible place =/
edit: I failed to mention, I'm using AB RSLogix5000
