Method Used for Checking Addresses Internally Allocated to Variables
Checking the Status of
Addresses Internally
Allocated to Variables The following procedure can be used to check the number of addresses allo-
cated to variables and the number still available for allocation in the function
block instance areas.
1,2,3... 1. Select the instance in the Ladder Section Window, right-click, and select
Memory Allocation - Function Block/SFC Memory - Function
Block/SFC Memory Statistics
from the PLC Menu.
2. The Function Block/SFC Memory Statistics Dialog Box will be displayed as
shown below. Check address usage here.
Optimizing Function
Memory When a variable is added or deleted, addresses are automatically re-allocated
in the variables’ instance area. Consecutive addresses are required for each
instance, so all of the variables will be allocated to a different block of
addresses if the original block of addresses cannot accommodate the change
in variables. This will result in an unused block of addresses. The following
procedure can be used to eliminate the unused areas in memory so that
memory is used more efficiently.
1,2,3... 1. Select the instance in the Ladder Section Window, right-click, and select
Memory Allocation - Function Block/SFC Memory - Optimize Func-
tion/SFC Memory
from the PLC Menu.
