We are getting an upgrade package soon for one of our machines that have L6 in it now and we will get new HMI's
I am trying to learn some about L8 before we get at as we have messages and produce and consume from the L6 to other machines and controllers on the production line.
From what I am reading the L8 is 64 bit and the L6 is 32 bit and the older SLC and MicroLogix is 16 bit?
Does that mean my DINT's in the L8 will be 64 bits long instead of 32 bit long like they are now?
Also, what is the meaning of Atomic Data Type? I keep seeing that term but don't know what it means?
