Address

For all memory types except %L, enter the memory type and offset in the Address field. The address format is:

<memory type><address>

For example, to specify Register 1, the address is %R1. All offsets have a minimum value of 1.

The address of %L memory types requires the block name. Block names must be unique over all programs in the programmable controller. Block names cannot begin with a numeric character. The address format is:

%L<address><block name>

For example, to specify the fifth word in the %L domain in the program block ABC, the address is %L5ABC.

Point Type

Select one of the following:

For device points, select Normal.
