PLC type designation for a PLC subdevice 1 of a PLC card. The part allocation during the import of PLC configuration files is carried out on the basis of this property (in as far as no device description file is specified). The entry has to be carried out in exactly the same notation as in the hardware catalog of the manufacturer. In the simplest case the PLC type designation corresponds to the order number. The property is filled with the corresponding value from the parts management during a part selection or device selection.

PLC devices exist that consist of several integrated modules, meaning subdevices, and that have several start addresses. Such a device can consist, for example, of an internal CPU module, an internal input-output module as well as internal counter module - however with only one part number. In order to map such logical function units within a PLC device, up to twelve PLC subdevices are available to you.
