Hi all,
I'm going to start programming a 1756-L73 and I'm still waiting for the full Studio5000 to be able to start at it in earnest.
But I want to get started setting up some Aliases etc. I have Studio 5000 Mini and setup a Compact Logix similar to my what my CLX system to get a feel for how the I/O is named.
My CLX system will be (in order in A10 rack)
1756-L73
1756-EN2T
1756-IB16
1756-IB16
1756-IF8
1756-OB8
1756-OB8
1756-OF8

When I setup a compact logix, the digital I/O is something like:
Local:1:I.Pt00.Data
Local:1:I.Pt01.Data
But I Have seen a lot of examples online where the addressing is in an array something like:
Local:1:I.Data[00] etc.
Is this a difference of Control Logix vs. Compact Logix or maybe the way I have Studio 5000 Setup. I barely ever use this software so apologies for the simple question
Thanks,
