programmable logic controllers
The RS Allen-Bradley SLC 500 product
line
The SLC 500 family of small logic controllers surpass simple
machine control. A powerful instruction set, advanced
programming tools, and expanded product capabilities give
you all of the right reasons to apply the SLC 500 solution to
your next control application.
The SLC 500 product line is a growing family of small
programmable controllers built around two hardware
options; a fixed controller with an option to expand using a 2-
slot chassis, or a modular I/O controller. The programming
tools and most I/O modules are compatible between the two
hardware options, so you can cost effectively solve a broad
range of applications.
The SLC 500 product line offers a variety of discrete I/O
modules that enable you to cost-effectively configure your
control system. All of the discrete I/O modules are UL and
CSA certified for industrial applications and the majority are
approved for Class I, Division 2 hazardous environments.

1. When to choose fixed vs modular?
There are two hardware styles to choose from - the fixed
hardware style and the modular hardware style.
Fixed hardware style
The SLC 500 fixed style includes a processor with 1K
instruction capacity, a power supply and a fixed number of
I/O in one complete package. The 20, 30, and 40 I/O
versions accept a 2-slot expansion chassis. All fixed I/O units
are panel mountable. The fixed hardware style is
expandable to 72 I/O points.
Modular Hardware Style
For applications requiring more flexibility, the modular style
offers a wide variety of I/O options. Modular style chassis
are available in 4, 7, and 10-slot versions. The chassis can be
connected together to form a system of up to 30 slots.
Choose from 3 power supplies, 3 processors, and a dozen
I/O cards to tailor a system exactly for the application. The
modular hardware style is expandable to 480 I/O points.
SLC 5/ 01
Modular I/O systems that include an SLC 5/01 processor can
be configured with a maximum of three chassis (30 total
slots) from 4 I/O points to a maximum of 256 I/O points. Two
SLC 5/01 processors (CPUs) are available for the modular
I/O system.
B 1K instruction capacity version with capacitor-backed
RAM memory. An optional battery can be used to retain
RAM memory contents for a longer period of time when
power is removed from the processor.
B 4K instruction capacity version with battery-backed
RAM as standard.
Optional EEPROM and UVPROM memory modules are
available for use with the 5/01 processor.
SLC 5/ 02
The SLC 5/02 processor provides enhanced
communications, faster scan times, advanced instructions,
and extensive diagnostics that allow it to work in more
complex applications. It has 4K instruction capacity, with
battery-backed RAM included. Modular I/O systems, which
include an SLC 5/02 processor, can be configured with a
maximum of 3 chassis (30 total slots) from 4 I/O points to a
maximum of 480 I/O points. Optional EEPROM and UVPROM
memory modules are available for use with the SLC 5/02
processor.

SLC 5/ 03
The SLC 5/03 processor introduces 32-bit technology. It has
a 3-position key switch on the front panel of the module that
allows you to select the mode of operation. It also provides
built-in RS-232 and DH-485 communications for SCADA and
direct programming as well as on-line program editing and
improved system throughput. The SLC 5/03 has battery-
backed RAM included and accommodates real-time
applications. The SLC 5/03 has 12K instruction capacity.
SLC 5/ 04
The SLC 5/04 processors incorporate all of the functionality
of the SLC 5/03 processor and add increased
communications capabilities, more memory, and faster
throughput. The standard DH-485 port has been placed with
a DH+ port, providing high-speed SLC 5/04-to-SLC 5/04
communications and direct connection to PLC-5
S. The
available memory options are 12K, 28K, or 60K user
instructions, all with 4K additional data words.
Modular I/O systems that include an SLC 5/03 or SLC 5/04
processor can be configured with a maximum of three
chassis (30 total slots) from 4 I/O points to a maximum of 960
local I/O points. I/O capacity is expandable via Remote I/O
and DeviceNet.

4. Overview
4.1 System configuration
The basic fixed controller consists of a processor with 1,024
(1K) instruction capacity, a power supply, and a fixed
number of I/O contained in a single package.
The basic modular controller consists of a chassis, power
supply, processor module (CPU), Input/Output (I/O
modules), and an operator interface device for programming
and monitoring.

4.2 Programming
The SLC product line can be programmed using two
different methods, one by using the Hand-Held Terminal
(HHT) and the other using the Advanced Programming
Software (APS), which operates on an IBM-AT/XT or
compatible personal computer.
Both methods have extensive diagnostics, expanded ladder
editors, and are available in several languages. As a result,
either method can be used to configure the SLC processors,
enter or modify an application program, monitor the
execution of the application in real-time, or troubleshoot an
application program.
The HHT can be used to configure the SLC 500 Fixed, SLC
5/01 and SLC 5/02 processors. It accepts programs with a
maximum data table size of 6K. Each rung may contain up to
127 instructions.
APS, on the other hand, has a maximum data table size of 16K
and each rung can contain 128 instructions. It can be used to
configure all SLC 500 family processors.
The instructions include:
B Bit instructions
B Timer and counter instructions
B Math instructions
B Control instructions
B Comparison instructions
B Sequencer instructions
B Bit shift, FIFO, and LIFO instructions
B Move and logical instructions
B File instructions
B Special instructions for the SLC 5/02 and above only such
as PID (Proportional, Integral, Derivative).
5. System selection guide
5.1 Configuring a fixed system
You can use either of two methods to determine whether the
2-slot, fixed I/O expansion chassis will support a specific
combination of modules.
B Tabular method
B Charting method.
The table below represents combinations of modules and
indicates whether or not each combination is valid. The chart
that follows represents the region of operating current that
the fixed I/O expansion chassis supports.
5.1.1 Tabular method
Using the table below, locate both of the modules you plan to
use in the fixed I/O expansion chassis. Follow the top row
across until you find one of the modules. Then follow the
right column down until you find the other module. The
symbol shown in the table cell that marks their intersection
gives you information you must know before installing the
modules.
A dot indicates a valid combination.
No symbol indicates an invalid combination.
A triangle indicates an external 24Vdc power supply
may be required.

5.1.2 Charting method
The following chart depicts the range of current
combinations supported by the fixed I/O expansion chassis.
To use it, you must first determine the backplane current
draw and operating voltage for both of the modules you plan
to use in the chassis. You can get these specifications from
the table alongside the chart. Next, plot each of the currents
on the chart below. If the point of intersection falls within the
operating region, your combination is valid. If not, your
combination cannot be used in a 2-slot, fixed I/O chassis.
1. Add current draws of both modules.
2. Plot this point on the chart above.
3. Plot current draw.
4. Note the point of intersection.
Important: The NO4I and NO4V analogue output modules
may require an external power supply. Refer to
the analogue user manual.

Selecting chasis
The chassis houses the processor and I/O modules. The
power supply mounts on the left side of the chassis. All
components easily slide into the chassis along guides formed
in the chassis. No tools are required to insert or remove the
processor or I/O modules. A maximum of three chassis (30
I/O slots) may be connected in an SLC system.
There are four sizes of chassis that you can choose; 4-slot; 7-
slot; 10-slot and 13-slot.
Selecting modular processors
The processor always occupies the first slot of the first
chassis (slot 0). The SLC 5/01 processor is available with a
memory range of 1K or 4K of user instructions. The SLC
5/02 is available with 4K of user instructions. The SLC
5/03 processor is available with 12K of user instructions
and 4K of additional data words. The SLC 5/04 processor is
available with 20K of user instructions and 4K of additional
data words. These processors operate in an environment up
to +60C (+140F).
The 1K processor is supplied with a 2-week capacitor back-
up as standard and an optional 5-year battery back-up in the
event of power interuption. The 4K, 12K and 20K processors
are supplied with 2-year battery back-up as standard.
Optional memory modules are also available for the SLC
5/01, 5/02, 5/03 and 5/04 processors. For more details on
memory modules, see pages 1-12.
We designed the SLC 500 processors to operate in an
industrial environment, To keep the processor running as
reliably as possible, install all processors in a manner that
provides protection from various corrosive agents such as
dirt, grease, and falling debris, particularly electrically
conducting material.

surge suppressors when switching ac inductive loads, consult the SLC 500 Installation and Operation Users Manual
(Catalogue Number 1747-N1002). Recommended surge suppression for switching 24Vdc inductive loads is a 1N4004
diode that is reverse wired across the load.
^ For dc voltage applications, the make/break ampere rating for relay contacts can be determined by dividing 28VA by the
applied dc voltage.
For example, 28VA/48Vdc = 0.58A.
For dc voltage applications less than 48V, the make/break ratings for relay contacts cannot exceed 2A.
For dc voltage applications greater than 48V, the make/break ratings for relay contacts cannot exceed 1A.
The continuous current per module must be limited so the module power does not exceed 1440VA.

RTD accuracy and temperature drift specifications
1
The accuracy values assume that the module was calibrated within the specified temperature range of 0C to 60C (32F to 140F).
2
The temperature drift specifications apply to a module that has not been calibrated.
3
Module accuracy, using 100 or 200 platinum RTDs with 0.5mA excitation current, depends on the following criteria:
(a) Module accuracy is 0.6C after you apply power to the module or perform an autocalibration at 25C (77F) ambient with module operating temperature
between 0C to 60C (32F to 140F).
(b)Module accuracy is (0.6C + T X 0.034C/C) after you apply power to the module or perform an autocalibration at 25C (77F) ambient with the
module operating temperature between 0C to 60C (32F to 140F).
- where T is the temperature difference between the actual operating temperature of the module and 25C (77F) and 0.034C/C is the temperature drift
shown in the table above for 100 or 200 platinum RTDs.
(c) Module accuracy is 1.0C after you apply power to the module or perform an autocalibration at 60C (140F) ambient with module operating
temperature at 60 C.
4
The digits following the RTD type represent the temperature coefficient of resistance (), which is defined as the resistance change per Ohm per C. For
instance, Platinum 385 refers to a platinum RTD with + 0.00385 Ohms/Ohm - C or simply 0.00385 / C.
5
Actual value at 0C (32F) is 9.042 per SAMA standard RC21-4-1966.
6
To maximise the relatively small RTD signal, only 2mA excitation current is allowed.
7
Actual value at 0C (32F) is 100 per DIN standard.
Resistance input specifications
1
The accuracy values assume that the module was calibrated within the specified temperature range of 0C to 60C (32F to 140F).
2
The accuracy for 150 is dependant on the excitation current: 0.2 at 0.5mA, 0.15 at 2.0mA.
3
The temperature drift for 150 is dependant on the excitation current: 0.006/C at 0.5mA, 0.004 at 2.0mA.

7.8 Memory modules and accessories
7.8.1 Memory modules for fixed SLC 5/ 01 & SLC 5/ 02
These optional memory modules provide a non-volatile
memory in convenient modular form. The modules plug into
a socket on the processor. You can store (save) your
program in the EEPROM by inserting the module into the
processor and using either the Hand-Held Terminal or
Advanced Programming Software. You can also load (read)
a program from the EEPROM into the processor RAM.
Features
B Use of the UVPROM provides you an extra degree of
program security.
B The UVPROM is compatible with commercially available
UVPROM programming and erasing equipment.
Memory modules for SLC 5/ 03 & SLC 5/ 04
The memory module for the SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04
processors is called a flash EPROM (Flash Erasable
Programmable Read Only Memory). Flash EPROMs
combine the programming versatility of EEPROMs with the
security precautions of UVPROMs. This means that you have
the option of leaving your EPROM programs write protected
or unprotected. Write protect the EPROM using either your
software or a PROM programmer.
The memory modules consist of a Flash EPROM mounted on
a circuit board with a connector and plastic housing. There
are 2 memory modules acailable that backup up to 32K or
64K user memory.
Socket
7.8.2 Card slot filler
Use these fillers in empty chassis slots to protect equipment
from dust or debris.
7.8.3 Battery
In the SLC fixed style and 1K version SLC 5/01, back-up
power for RAM is provided by a capacitor that will retain the
contents of the RAM for a period of 5 to 30 days. For
applications requiring memory back-up for a longer period
of time an optional replaceable battery, Catalogue Number
1747-BA, is required. The lithium battery provides back-up
for approximately five years. A red BATTERY LOW LED turns
on when the battery voltage has fallen below a threshold
level.
In the SLC modular style (SLC 5/01 4K version, SLC 5/02, SLC
5/03 and SLC 5/04), back-up power for RAM is provided by
a replaceable battery. The lithium battery provides back-up
for approximately five years for the 1747-L511 and two years
for the 1747-L514, 1747-L524, 1747-L532 and 1747-L541.

8. SLC application examples
8.1 Application: High-speed position sensing
Operation
B Incremental encoder/high-speed counter (HSCE) tracks
position of aspirin boxes on the conveyor line.
B When photo-switch senses box, high-speed counter starts
counting. A given number of counts later, when the box is
centred over the ink-jet printer, the HSCE triggers the
printer to print the date code onto the box.
B Boxes are counted and stacked inside of the shrink-wrap
machine by the SLC. When the SLC has counted the
proper number of boxes (via photo-switch inside of the
shrink-wrap machine), it triggers the machine to wrap.
Product features
B HSCE runs its own control profile independent of the
program running in the SLC 5/02 processor the only
ladder logic programming needed is to download the
control profile to the HSCE. The ink-jet printer is triggered
by output on board the HSCE card.
B Discrete input and output cards provide an interface to a
wide variety of switches, sensors, and actuators.

9. General installation requirements
9.1 Loading and installation
9.1.1 Considerations for safety
Safety considerations are an important element of proper
system installation. Actively thinking about the safety of
yourself and others, as well as the condition of your
equipment, is of primary importance. Several safety areas
are discussed below.
Disconnecting main power
The main power disconnect switch should be located where
operators and maintenance personnel have quick and easy
access to it. Ideally, the disconnect switch is mounted on the
outside of the enclosure, so that it can be accessed without
opening the enclosure. In addition to disconnecting electrical
power, all other sources of power (pneumatic and hydraulic)
should be de-energised before working on a machine or
process controlled by an SLC controller.
Safety circuits
Circuits installed on the machine for safety reasons, like
overtravel limit switches, stop push buttons, and interlocks,
should always be hard-wired directly to the master control
relay. These devices must be wired in series so that when
any one device opens, the master control relay is de-
energised thereby removing power to the machine. Never
alter these circuits to defeat their function. Serious injury or
machine damage could result.
Power distribution
There are some points about power distribution that you
should be aware of. First, the master control relay must be
able to inhibit all machine motion by removing power to the
machine I/O devices when the relay is de-energised.
Second, if you are using a dc power supply, interrupt the
load side rather than the ac line power. This avoids the
additional delay of power supply turn-on and turn-off. The dc
power supply should be powered directly from the fused
secondary of the transformer. Power to the dc input and
output circuits is connected through a set of master control
relay contacts.
Periodic testing of a master control relay circuit
Any part can fail, including the switches in a master control
relay circuit. The failure of one of these switches would most
likely cause an open circuit, which would be a safe power-off
failure. However, if one of these switches shorts out, it no
longer provides any safety protection. These switches
should be tested periodically to assure they will stop
machine motion when needed.
Emergency-stop switches
Adhere to the following points concerning emergency-stop
switches:
B Do not program emergency-stop switches in the
controller program. Any emergency-stop switch should
turn off all machine power by turning off the master control
relay.
B Observe all applicable local codes concerning the
placement and labelling of emergency-stop switches.
B Install emergency-stop switches and the master control
relay in your system. Make certain that relay contacts
have a sufficient rating for your application. Emergency-
stop switches must be easy to reach.
The figure below shows the master control relay (MCR)
wired in a grounded system.
239-9986
28
Input states on power down
The power supply hold-up time as described above is
generally longer than the turn-on and turn-off times of the
input modules. Because of this, the input state change from
On toOff that occurs when power is removed may be
recorded by the processor before the power supply shuts
down the system.
Understanding this concept is important. The user program
should be written to take this effect into account. For
example, hard wire power to one spare input. In the user
program, check to be sure that one input is on; otherwise,
jump to the end of the program and avoid scanning the logic.
Use of a common power source as recommended in the
previous section is assumed.
9.2 Installation environment
The SLC 500 processors are designed to operate in an
industrial environment. To keep the processor running as
reliably as possible, install all processors in a manner that
provides protection from various corrosive agents such as
dirt, grease, and falling debris, particularly electrically
conducting material.
The following figure depicts acceptable spacing layouts.
Follow the recommended minimum spacing to allow for
convection cooling within the enclosure. Cooling air in the
enclosure must be kept within a range of 0 to +60C (32F
to +140F).
Important: Be careful of metal chips when drilling
mounting holes for the controllers. Do not drill
holes above a mounted SLC 500 controller.

9.1.2 Considerations for power
We strongly recommend that all chassis power supplies
have the same power source as the input and output
devices. This helps reduce the chance of electrical
interference due to multiple sources and grounds as well as
helps maintain system integrity if power is interrupted.
The processor detects the absence of power to any chassis
in the system. If power to any chassis is lost (or not yet
applied), the CPU FAULT LED turns on and all controller
outputs are de-energised.
This fault detection makes it necessary that you apply power
to the expansion chassis before you apply power to the
chassis containing the processor to avoid an unwanted fault.
Of course, applying power in sequence is unnecessary if all
chassis have a common power source.
Loss of power source
The chassis power supplies are designed to withstand brief
power losses without affecting the operation of the system.
The time the system is operational during power loss is
called program scan hold-up time after loss of power. The
duration of the power supply hold-up time depends on the
number, type and state of the I/O modules, but is typically
between 20 mS and 3 seconds. When the duration of power
loss reaches a limit, the power supply signals the processor
that it can no longer provide adequate dc power to the
system. This is referred to as a power supply shutdown. The
power LED is turned off.
In multi-chassis systems, power outages of 20 to 300
milliseconds in duration can cause a remote power fail error
to occur. You can clear this error by cycling power to your
system or by using a programming device.

Recommended Spacing
A. 15.3 to 20 cm (6 to 8 inches) (When using the 1746-C9
cable)
B. Greater than 10.2 cm (4 inches)
C. Greater than 15.3 cm (6 inches)
D. 7.7 to 10.2 cm (3 to 4 inches) (When using the 1746-C7
cable)
9.3 Calculation of heat
To calculate the heat dissipation of your SLC 500 controller
you must consider two things:
B The maximum heat dissipated (with field power applied)
by the processor, all I/O and specialty modules, and any
peripheral devices for each chassis.
B The maximum load on the power supply of the
processor, each I/O and specialty module, peripheral
device, and device drawing power directly off the power
supply via the POWER OUT terminals. Then equate this
power supply loading to power supply heat dissipation.
To determine the maximum heat dissipation, use one of
these methods:
B Calculated Watts
B Total Watts.
Use calculated Watts if you know exactly how many outputs
and input on each card will be active at any given time. This
method will give you a lower, more accurate heat dissipation

calculation than the total Watts method. With this method,
first, use the formula below for calculating the heat
dissipation of each module. Then use these values in step 1
of the worksheet that follows.
(points energised 3 Watts per point) + minimum
Watts = heat dissipation of module
Use total Watts if you are not sure how many points on a
module will be energised at any time. Total Watts is the Watts
per point (with all points energised) plus the minimum Watts.
Once you have determined which way you will calculate the
heat dissipation of your modules, see the Example
Worksheet for Calculating Heat Dissipation. This worksheet
shows you how to calculate the heat dissipation for the
example SLC control system opposite.
The following table details the total Watts dissipated by the
modules and peripheral devices in the above SLC 500
controller. The numbers were taken from the power supply
loading table.
' This output card uses 5.5 Watts because only 10 points
are on at any one time. Using the calculated Watts formu-
la(number of points energised 3 Watts per point) + min-
imum Watts = heat dissipation of module the calculated
Watts for the 1746-OW16 module is 5.5W: (10 points X
.033) + 5.17 = 5.5W.
Important: The user power on the 1746-P1 power supply for
Chassis 2 is being used to power a peripheral
(100mA at 24Vdc).

9.5.2 Wiring of I/ O equipment
Careful wire routing within the enclosure helps to cut down
electrical noise between I/O lines. Follow these rules for
routing your wires:
B Route incoming power to the controller by a separate
path from wiring to I/O devices. Where paths must cross,
their intersection should be perpendicular.
Important: Do not run signal or communications wiring and
power wiring in the same conduit.
B If wiring ducts are used, allow for at least two inches
between I/O wiring ducts and the controller. If the
terminal strips are used for I/O wiring, allow for at least
two inches between the terminal strips and the
controller.
B Segregate I/O wiring by signal type. Bundle wiring with
similar electrical characteristics together. Wires with
different signal characteristics should be routed into the
enclosure by separate paths.
ATTENTION: If the controller is being installed
within a potentially hazardous environment
(that is, Class I, Division 2), all wiring must
comply with the requirements stated in the
National Electrical Code 501-4 (b).
The following are general recommendations for wiring I/O
devices.
ATTENTION: Before you install and wire I/O
devices, disconnect power from the controller
and any other source to the I/O devices.
Use acceptable wire gauge The I/O wiring terminals are
designed to accept #14 or smaller AWG stranded wires, and
two wires per terminal (maximum). Maximum torque .9 N-m
(8 in-lb).
Label wires Label wiring to I/O devices, power sources,
and ground. Use tape, shrink-tubing, or other dependable
means for labelling purposes. In addition to labelling, use
coloured insulation to identify wiring based on signal
characteristics. For example, you may use blue for dc I/O
wiring and red for ac I/O wiring.
Bundle wires Bundle wiring for each similar I/O device
together. If you use ducts, allow at least 5 cm (2 in.) between
the ducts and the controller so there is sufficient room to wire
the devices.
Identify terminals Terminal cover plates have a write-on
area for each terminal. Use this area to identify your I/O
devices. Label the Removable Terminal Block (RTB) if you
have not already.
ATTENTION: Calculate the maximum
possible current in each power and common
wire. Observe all local electrical codes
dictating the maximum current allowable for
each wire size. Current above the maximum
ratings may cause wiring to overheat, which
can cause damage.
Capacitors on input modules have a stored
charge that can cause a non-lethal shock.
Avoid mounting the controller in a position
where installation or service personnel would
be in danger from startle reaction.
9.5.3 Grounding
In solid-state control systems, grounding helps limit the
effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI).
The grounding path for the controller and its enclosure is
provided by the equipment grounding conductor. The figure
below shows you how to run ground connections from the
chassis to the ground bus. The two methods shown for
grounding your modular controller are acceptable; however,
the ground bus is preferred.

Special grounding considerations for dc applications
using 1746-P3
ATTENTION: Any voltage applied to the
1746-P3 DC NEUT terminal will be present at
the SLC logic ground and the processor DH-
485 port. To prevent unwanted potentials
across the logic ground of the controller
and/or damage to the SLC chassis, the DC
NEUTRAL of the external dc power source
must be either isolated from the SLC chassis
ground, or connected to earth ground. See

11. Programming
11.1 Basics
Familiar ladder logic programming makes the SLC 500
family easy to program. A ladder logic program consists of a
number of rungs, on which you place instructions. Both the
fixed and modular controllers are programmed in the same
manner using either a hand-held terminal or a personal
computer. The SLC 500 controllers provide a powerful set of
instructions for control of complex systems.
11.2 Ladder logic representation
A ladder logic program consists of a number of rungs, on
which you place instructions. Instructions each have a data
address associated with them and based on the status of
these instructions the rung is solved.
The figure below shows a simple 1-rung ladder program.
The rung includes two input instructions and an output
instruction. Note, in the example below each instruction has
a name (Examine if Closed), a mnemonic (XIC), and an
address (I:1/0).
True/ False Status: The data file bits that these instructions
are addressed to will be either a logic 0 (Off) or a logic 1
(ON). This determines whether the instruction is regarded as
true or false:
]
0
[ ] [ ( )

11.3 SLC memory organisation
The processor provides control through the use of a
program you create. The program you create is called a
processor file. This file contains other files that break your \
B Program Files provide storage and control of the main
program and subroutines.
B Data Files contains the status of inputs, outputs, the
processor, timers, counter, and so on.
Processor Files: Each CPU can hold 1 processor file at a
time. The processor file is made up of program files (up to
256 per controller) and data files (up to 256 per controller).
Processor files are created in the off-line mode using APS.
These files are then restored, also referred to as
downloaded, to the processor for on-line operation.
Program Files: Program files contain controller information,
the main control program, and any subroutine programs.
The first three program files are required for each processor
file. These are:
B File 0 This file stores the controller configuration and
other system information.
B File 1 This file is reserved for internal controller use.
Processor File
Program Files Data Files
B File 2 This file stores the main control program.
Files 3 255 These files are optional and used for
subroutine programs.
Most of your work with program files will be in file 2, the main
program file. This file contains your ladder logic program
which you create to control your application.
Data Files: Data files contain the data associated with the
program files. Each processor file can contain up to 256 data
files. These files are organised by the type of data they
contain. Each piece of data in each of these files has an
address associated with it that identifies it for use in the
program file. For example, an input point has an address that
represents its location in the input data file. Likewise, a timer
in the timer data file has an address associated with it that
allows you to represent it in the program file.
The first 9 data files (0-8) have default types. You designate
the remainder of the files (9-255). The default types are:
B File 0 Output Data This file stores the state of the output
terminals for the controller.
B File 1 Input Data This file stores the status of the input
terminals for the controller.
B File 2 Status Data This file stores controller operation
information.
B Files 3 7 These files are pre-defined as Bit, Timers,
Counters, Control and Integer data storage, respectively.
B File 8 - Floating Point. This file stores single precision non-
extended 32-bit numbers. Valid range is 1.1754944e-38
to 3.40282347e-38. Only SLC 5/03 OS301 processors
use this file.
B File 9-255 User Defined. These files are user-defined as
Bit, Timer, Counter, Control and Integer data storage. For
SLC 5/03 OS301 processors, floating point, string and
ASCII files are also supported. In addition, File 9 is
specifically available as a Communication Interface File.
Most of your work with data files will be in files 0 and 1, the
output and input files.
