Integer

About

In industrial machines, 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, many programmable logic controllers (PLCs) use integers for control and decision-making operations, making them a key component in the programming of industrial automation systems.
