12. View the Database Values:
As we explained before, all the configuration parameters are stored in the controller’s
RAM memory. Their data type and address identify the storage locations in memory.
There are 6 different data types in the 53MC5000. They are shown in Table 8.1
Table 8.1
Location Types
Data Type
Identifier Data Type Value Range Address
Range
A Alphanumeric 10 characters F000 - F319
B Integer 0-255 B000 - B767
C Single Precision
Float
C000 - C767
H
Double Precision
Float H000 – H255
L Logical 0, 1 L000 – L2047
F Alphanumeric 5 characters F000 - F639
The database address starts with the data type letter followed by a numeric number. For
example, the Span for Analog Input 0 (which is a single precision float by type) is stored
at location C256. Similarly, the FCS Control Strategy is an integer which is loaded using
database location B016. The tagname for control loop 0 is an alphanumeric by type and is
stored at database location A000.
• Open the data tables by clicking on the Data Tables button on the database
window. All database locations within the controller are accessible from either the
controller front panel or via MicroTools using the Data Tables button. See the
