field pane's Data tab. That is, it is neither possible nor desirable to have the value displayed for a
field not correlate to the value that is edited. Therefore, changing the Data to Display area will
automatically change the first Write Locations list item, and similarly changing the first Write
Locations
list item will automatically change the Data to Display area.
• When a value is entered in a field with multiple write locations, one value is written per control
loop. For example, suppose a field writes to both Step 1 Speed and Step 2 Speed. When a value
is entered in this field, the value will be first written to Step 1 Speed, and one control loop later (1
or 2 ms) will be written to Step 2 Speed. This is usually not important, but may be in some
circumstances.
• The RMC supports up to a total of 32 fields having more than one write location. That is, you can
have as many editable fields as you want, except that only 32 of these fields can have more than
one write location. The Edit Write Locations dialog box lists the total multi-location fields used.
See the discussion below on this dialog box.
• The RMC supports a total of 256 write locations among all multi-location fields. That is, the sum
of all write locations of only those editable fields with more than one write location cannot exceed
256. The Edit Write Locations dialog box lists the total multi-location field locations used. See
the discussion below on this dialog box.
• Each editable field can have up to 128 total write locations. However, the total number of write
locations of all multi-location fields still must be under the 256-location limit. The Edit Write
Locations
dialog box lists the total write locations for the field. See the discussion below on this
dialog box.
