Hi, I'm new to DirectLogic PLCs and I need to know how to determine how much of the PLCs memory my program is using. Can't seem to find it in any of the DirectSoft5 menus. In RSLogix you can go to controller properties and it tells you how many memory words your program is using and how many are left. Thanks.
 
AutomationJay,

Welcome to the forum. Check the bottom boxes in DS5 near the PC system tray. There will be a number like 0768/7680 the first number before the slash is the words used. The number after the slash is the total available for the CPU.
