Output Data File
Data output bits are turned on or off using the bit positions in word 0.
• 1 = output on
• 0 = output off
For each module, slot
x, word 0 in the output data file contains the control
program’s directed state of the discrete output points.
Configuration File
The read/writable configuration data file allows the setup of the hold last state
and user-defined safe state conditions.
The manipulation of the bits from this file is normally done with programming
software, such as RSLogix 500, RSLogix 5000, or RSNetWorx for DeviceNet,
during initial configuration of the system. In that case, graphical screens are
provided via the programmer to simplify configuration. However, some systems,
like the 1769-ADN DeviceNet adapter, also allow the bits to be altered as part of
the control program using communication rungs. In that case, it is necessary to
understand the bit arrangement.
IMPORTANT
The output module’s input data file reflects the output data echo of the
module, not necessarily the electrical state of the output terminals. It
does not reflect shorted or open outputs.
It is important to use this input word if the controller adapter supports
the Program Mode or Fault Mode function, and if it is configured to use
them.
EXAMPLE
To turn on bit position 12, type 1 in word 0, bit 12.
