LINT data types

LINT data type is a 64-bit integer.
The LINT data type can be used in numerous instructions on
Compact GuardLogix
5380,
CompactLogix
5380,
CompactLogix
5480,
CompactLogix
5580, or
GuardLogix
5580 controller
however the LINT data type cannot be used in most instructions on
CompactLogix
5370,
ControlLogix
5570,
Compact GuardLogix
5370,
GuardLogix
5570 controllers
.
Consider the following when using LINT data type on

5370,
ControlLogix
5570,
Compact GuardLogix
5370,
GuardLogix
5570 controllers
.
Tip:
LINTs can only be used with copy (COP, CPS) instructions. They are used with the CST/WallClock Time attribute, time synchronization and Add-On Instructions. You cannot add, subtract, multiply, or divide this tag type.
When using LINT data types, consider the following descriptions when these issues occur.
How to
Description
Move/copy two double-integer DINT values into one LINT
Create a double integer array of two elements, total of 64 bits (that is, DINT[2], which can then be copied into one long integer.
Correct Date/Time Display error
When a tag has a negative value, it cannot be displayed as Date/Time. In the tag editor, check whether the value is negative by changing the style of the tag from Date/Time to Binary. When the most significant bit (leftmost one) is 1, the value is negative and therefore cannot be displayed as a Date or Time.
