Data Start Pointer Offset (Word 10): This word contains the offset within the memory type
selected in the Data Memory Type word (Word 9). Note: The Data Start Pointer Offset is a
zero-based number. In practical terms, this means that you should subtract one from the
address number that you wish to specify. For example, to select %R0001 as the Data Start
location, enter zero (1
–
1 = 0). Or, to select %R0100, enter 99 (100
–
1 = 99). Note that the
memory type, %R in this example, is specified in the previous word. The starting address
designated by this word will be the first of 1024 contiguous words of memory used in the
COMM REQ.

User Data Table COMM REQ Example
In this example, the following specifications are given:
•
The DSM314 module is mounted in Rack 0, Slot 7 of the PLC.
•
The Command B
lock’s starting address is %R0196.
•
The Status Word is located at %R0195.
•
The COMM REQ’s FT (fault) output drives a Set Coil.
•
Segment 1 of the DSM314 User Data Table is to be Written to. This is specified by
the Command Code D001 in Word 7 of the Command Block.
•
The data in a 1024-word (2048 byte) portion of register memory, %R0301 through
%R1324, is copied and written into Segment 1 (2048 bytes) of the User Data Table.
(Note that each %R word is two bytes in length.) This transfer of data is illustrated in
the next figure:
