Integer

Integers are frequently used to represent numerical values such as time, speed, distance, and temperature. They are useful because they take up less memory than floating-point numbers and are faster to process. Additionally, a PLC often uses integers for control and decision-making operations, making them a key component in the programming of industrial automation systems.
