Data Table Address/Offset
This variable defines the starting address in the target controller. The data
table address is used for a 500CPU and PLC5 type messages. A valid
address is any valid, configured data file within the target device whose
file type is recognized by the controller. Valid combinations are shown
below:
The data table offset is used for 485CIF type messages. A valid offset is
any value in the range 0 to 255 and indicates the word or byte offset into
the target's Common Interface File (CIF). The type of device determines
whether it is a word or byte offset. MicroLogix controllers and SLC
processors use word offset; PLC-5 uses byte offset.
Local Node Address
This is the destination device's node number if the devices are on a
DH-485 (using 1761-NET-AIC), DeviceNet (using 1761-NET-DNI), or DF1
Half-Duplex network.
Local/Remote
This variable defines the type of communications that is used. Use local
when you need point-to-point communications via DF1 Full-Duplex or
network communications such as DH-485 (using 1761-NET-AIC),
DeviceNet (using 1761-NET-DNI), or DF1 Half-Duplex.
