Data format of CoE parameters
CoE parameters have different data formats.
The data format of the CoE parameters is specified by data type identifiers in the chapter Object description:
Data type identifier | Format | Size |

BOOL | True / false | 8-bit |
SINT | Short integer | 8-bit |
USINT | Unsigned short integer | 8-bit |

UINT | Unsigned integer | 16-bit |
DINT | Double integer | 32-bit |

The data type identifiers correspond to the data types that can also be used in TwinCAT in a PLC program.
