4 Basic Operation
4.7.2 Read Cells
4-20
• Address
Specifies the address within each register type.
The range of addresses that can be used depends on the controller. Refer to
6.2 Sup-
ported CPU Types and Register Types .
If the register type is MB or IB, the bit number must be added to end of the address
when specifying register numbers.
Note: If the register type is IB, IW, IL, or IF, the address must be written as
a decimal number.
• Data Type
Specifies the data format of data in the controller.
For information on data types, refer to
6.3 Supported Data Formats .
• Bit
If a Bit-type register (MB or IB) has been selected, bit numbers that were entered in
the address will be displayed.
Bit numbers will be displayed in hexadecimal characters from 0 to F.
• Display Format
The controller values can be displayed in the cells as decimal or hexadecimal num-
bers.
• Block Setup
Start/End Cell:Specifies the start and end position for a block of cells that are set up
using the block setup function. When the start and end cells are
entered, the column and row size will be automatically adjusted.
Down/Across: Specifies the block setting direction as down or across from the
selected cell.
Size (Col, Row): Indicates the number of cells from the start to end cell. If the start
cell and the size are entered, the end cell will automatically be
updated.
Block Size: Specifies the number of cells to be selected from the current cell in the
direction specified (down or across).
7. Block Setup Function
When reading multiple data items from a controller, each data item must be associated
with a cell specified by the cell settings. If the data items have consecutive addresses,
the cells can be set up in blocks using the block setup function.
The block setup function automatically selects a block of cells starting from the start cell
in the direction specified (down or across) before the
Cell Setting Dialog Box is dis-
played. The addresses assigned to cells increase in increments according to the type of
data contained in the address. For single-words, addresses are incremented by one, and
Example: 001B
