6-2 Ladder Programming Examples
Example - Configure four channels of a thermocouple module
residing in slot 3 of a 1746 chassis. Configure each channel with the
same parameters.
This example transfers configuration data and sets the channel enable
bits of all four channels with a single File Copy instruction.
Procedure
1. Create integer file N10. Integer file N10 should contain four
elements (N10:0 through N10:3).
2. Enter the configuration parameters for all four thermocouple
channels into a source integer data file N10. See Appendix B for
a channel configuration worksheet.
3. Program a rung in your ladder logic to copy the contents of
integer file N10 to the four consecutive output words of the
thermocouple module beginning with O:3.0.
