Generating Custom Data Table Monitor Pages
You can generate Custom Data Table Monitor pages with your text
editor then download them to the SLC 5/05 processor using
RSLogix 500 version 6.0 or later. The first element of the file must
contain a special tag as follows:
xx>
where xx is the automatic refresh rate in seconds (01...99).
A value outside the range defaults to a snapshot display.
You can modify the refresh rate three different ways:
•
Enter the desired refresh rate and press Change
•
Select Default for a 15 second refresh
•
Disable the refresh by selecting Disable
Referencing Data Table Memory - the Data Table locations in the
Custom Data Table Monitor are referenced by placing custom tags into
the ASCII file of the processor. The format of the custom tag is:
[#expand][!comment]>
The items surrounded with {} are sometimes optional, whereas the
items surrounded by [] are always optional.
You must always specify the basic file reference. Depending on which
file is being referenced, file_number or file_element may be defaulted.
If the file_type is I, O or S, the file_number does not need to be
specified, but the file_element must be specified. If the file_type is not
one of the three special files, the file_number must be specified and
the file_element may default to zero (because the input, output and
status files have fixed numbers).
