I've been programming PLC's for a few years now and I recently came across something I have no answer for or reasoning why or why not.
The question is based from programs using RSLogix 500
Question: Why would one guy use a bit(B) where another uses an integer(N)? For example a simple rung using an input to trigger a couple different things in the program. In one program a bit is used to trigger the different items in the program and in the other an integer(N) to do the same thing.
I am just curious why. They both work the same. But i cannot explain why or why not one way or the other.
I am unable to post pictures for examples.
