Automation Direct PLC's - Array Support?

Does Automation Direct PLC's Support Array's?

I don't mean at Bit level where you can access a Register bit via it's bit address (V2000.0), but word level Array's where say you can have 10 Vregister addresses and have them refrence via an index in logic?

Possible to implement one?

Thanks.

Check out the use of pointers. It also depends on which specific PLC model.

Check out the Example Program; EP-MISC-014 over on the Example Programs section of the Automationdirect.com Technical Support Page.

It shows how to make a FIFO table in a DirectLogic PLC.

Thanks Bernie & icky,

Sorry I should have mentiond It's a DL-06

I will check out the sample. Not sure if FIFO is going to solve my issue. I need to have an array of data and be able to Populate an HMI Display using an Index. Looks like Pointers might be the answer.

Thanks again to both of you.
