Address Structure
Data files contain elements. Some data files have 1-word elements,
some have 3-word elements. You will be addressing elements, words,
and bits.
Addresses are made up of alpha-numeric characters separated by
delimiters. Delimiters include the colon, slash, and period.
Typical element, word, and bit addresses are shown below.
The address format varies, depending on the file type. This is
explained in the following sections. We begin with file 0 and 1,
outputs and inputs, and follow with files 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
Data Files 0 and 1 - Outputs and Inputs
Bits in file 0 are used to represent external outputs. Bits in file 1 are
used to represent external inputs. In most cases, a single 16-bit word
in these files will correspond to a slot location in your controller, with
bit numbers corresponding to input or output terminal numbers.
The tables on the following pages describe the I/O addressing
methods for both fixed and modular controllers.
