ATTENTION: Assign a unique diagnostic file to each channel. Do

 

 

 

 

not assign a diagnostic file that is the I/O status file you

 

 

assigned or any other used integer file. Unpredictable machine

 

 

damage can result.

 

 

Important: You must define a diagnostics file for a channel

 

 

configured for anything but unused (even if you are not using the

 

 

channel) if you want to get status information for that channel.

as it appears to the scanner

Valid addresses are (based on the scanner this PLC-5 controller

 

 

 

 

communicates with):

 

 

3 octal (PLC-5/11 controllers)

 

 

1-3 octal (PLC-5/20, -5/20E controllers)

 

 

1-7 octal (PLC-5/30 controllers)

 

 

1-17 octal (PLC-5/40, -5/40L, -5/40E controllers)

 

 

1-27 octal (PLC-5/60, -5/60L, -5/80, -5/80E controllers)

 

 

The default is rack 3.

 

 

Important: The valid addresses are based on the scanner, not

 

 

the PLC-5 controller you are configuring. For example, if you are

 

 

configuring a PLC-5/20, you could enter a rack address between

 

 

1-27 if the scanner you will be communicating with is a

 

 

PLC-5/60.
