ITcSmTreeItem Item Sub Types

Item sub types specify what kind of device, box or terminal is being used, for example a sub type of 2408 identifies a KL2408 digital output terminal. You can check the sub type of an item by manually adding it in TwinCAT System Manager or XAE and then export its XML description via the corresponding menu entry.

In the resulting XML file, the sub type is represented by the node <ItemSubType>. In the above example, we exported the XML description of an EL2008 terminal. The XML file shows that this terminal has a sub type of 9099.
