Data Table
Chapter 3

After you have determined the layout of the data table, press [SEARCH]
[5] [0]. The following display appears:
NUMBER OF 128-WORD DATA TABLE SECTIONS
NUMBER OF I/O RACKS
NUMBER OF TIMERS/COUNTERS (IF APPLICABLE)
DATA TABLE SIZE
The number of 128-word data table sections, the number of I/O racks
(1-7), and the number of timers/counters (if applicable) to be entered is
prompted by a reverse-video cursor. The factory configuration for the data
table is one 128-word section, 2 I/O racks and 40 timers/counters.
The address of the last word in your data table determines the number of
128-word data table sections you will enter.
After planning and writing your program and logging all addresses on
data table assignment sheets, if the last address is at or less than 377
8
(256 words), the number of equivalent timers and counters must be
calculated. (Equivalent timers and counters includes internal storage
words, such as bit/word storage, files, and sequencer tables.) The
calculation is made using the following formula:
ET=T + C + IS/2
where:
ET = number of equivalent timers and counters
T = number of timers
C = number of counters
IS = number of internal storage words
When you have one 128-word data table block, you can specify as many
as 40 timers/counters. Should you need more than 40 timers/counters,
the processor will automatically increase the data table size by two
words for each timer or counter you add. The data table can be reduced
in 2-word decrements to a minimum of 48 words if 1 rack and 8
timers/counters are selected.
Or:
If the last data table word is at an address greater than 377
8
,
count the total number of 128-word data table sections used (the first
128-word section includes the I/O image tables). Count partially used
sections as complete sections.
When you enter 3 or more 128-word data table sections, the number
of timers and counters is included in the number of data table sections
entered. Therefore, the number of timers and counters need not be entered
and the industrial terminal will display N/A.
