ZString

ZCore

Codesys compatible vendors usually implement a primitive type for ascii string STRING with a parametrizeable size which in default is 80 characters. For larger strings, vendors may define additional types. For instance Beckhoff aliases STRING(255) to T_MaxString and commonly uses this string throughout their functions and function blocks in their libraries.

The Zeugwerk Framework is designed to be platform independent and for this reason we use ZString throughout the framework. This also enables us to adjust the default string-length if required.
