Hi guys, I'm reading through the manuals and I'm not sure I understand fully what they are trying to say about addressing the I/O using RSlogix5000. Lets say my PLC had the processor first (required) then the power supply, I/p card and o/p card. If I wanted to address, lets say, the third bit on the i/p card. The manual says "Location:Slot:Type.member.submember.bit". So would I be correct in saying "Local:1:I.3". I'm not sure what the member means?!? How would you address an analog card if I had a standard 2 channel analog i/p card after the descrete o/p card in my rack?
I also noticed that the Tag addressing is somewhat different. It says start with Tagname. etc.
Am I correct in saying that If I use Tag Names instead of addresses that the plc will automaticly assign internal addresses to these?
Can someone explain I/o addressing to me and provide a few examples so that i can get the full sense of whats happening here?
