Logix5000 controllers also let you use arrays to organize data.
Term Definition
Array A tag that contains a block of multiple pieces of data.
• An array is similar to a file.
• Within an array, each individual piece of data is called an element.
• Each element uses the same data type.
• An array tag occupies a contiguous block of memory in the controller, each element in sequence.
• You can use array and sequencer instructions to manipulate or index through the elements of an
array.
• You organize the data into a block of one, two, or three dimensions.
The subscript identifies each individual element within the array. A subscript
starts at 0 and extends to the number of elements minus 1 (zero based).
