Data type: VERSION

The VERSION data type contains a structure with various version information about the project or library. If the Automatically generate 'Project Information' POUs option and/or Automatically generate 'Library Information' POUs option is activated in the project information, then the GetVersion function with the VERSION data type is automatically generated in the POUs view. The individual structural elements can be accessed programmatically.
