Important Notes on Data Table Files

Read these notes before entering the data table files.

Input and output data tables are initialized one slot at a time. Therefore, the I/O
configuration, not the value list, determines the data table size for output and
input files.

The data table files of a MicroLogix 1000 controller are fixed in type and size.
You can use the value list only to initialize or alter the data values of a
MicroLogix 1000 controller.

You cannot provide initializing data for M0 and M1 files.

The processor type determines the size of the Status file (S2). The fixed
controllers and SLC 5/01 processors have 16 elements, the SLC 5/02 processors
and MicroLogix 1000 controllers have 33 elements, the SLC 5/03 processors
have 83 elements, the SLC 5/04 OS400 processors have 87 elements, and the
SLC 5/04 OS401 processors have 164 elements. The value list does not alter
the data table size of the Status file (S2). There is no range checking done of
Status file values.

You can enter a logical address to the element level only. The import utility
ignores subelement and bit addresses. See table 5.Q for an example of valid
and invalid logical addresses.

Table 5.Q
Valid and Invalid Logical Addresses

Valid Logical Addresses:

To define the data file, follow these steps:

1.

Enter the keyword

.

2.

Complete the data file using the data file formats shown in table 5.R.
