USER’S MANUAL 6-1
6: ALLOCATION NUMBERS
Introduction
This chapter describes allocation numbers available for the MICRO
3
base unit to program basic and advanced instructions.
Special internal relays are also described.
The
MICRO
3
programmable controller is programmed using operands such as inputs, outputs, internal relays, timers,
counters, shift registers, and data registers.
Inputs (I) are relays to receive input signals through the input terminals.
Outputs (Q) are relays to send the processed results of the user program to the output terminals.
Internal relays (M) are relays used in
MICRO
3
and cannot be outputted to the output terminals.
Special internal relays (M) are internal relays dedicated to specific functions.
Timers (T) are relays used in the user program, available in 100-msec, 10-msec, and 1-msec timers.
Counters (C) are relays used in the user program, available in reversible counters and adding counters.
Shift registers (R) are registers to shift the data bits according to pulse inputs.
Data registers (D) are registers used to store numerical data. Some of the data registers are dedicated to special functions.
Allocation Numbers
Available I/O numbers depend on the type and combination of the MICRO
3
base units used in the expansion link system.
For details of available I/O numbers in the expansion link system, see page 4-7.
Notes:
Input and output allocation numbers for the expansion station start with I20 and Q20. Note that input and output allocation
numbers are not continuous between the base station and expansion station in the expansion link system.
The maximum points shown in ( ) are values for the high-speed processing mode.
The same number cannot be used for a counter and a timer in a user program.
