The Find Available Addresses dialog gives the user an easy method of assigning address blocks when creating a new PID loop. This dialog searches the current project for unused Addresses of the required block sizes. Any addresses assigned in Ladder, High-Speed I/O, Built-In I/O, and EtherNet/IP are considered unavailable by this dialog.

 

 

1 C Addresses: A continuous block of 40 bits is required.

2 DS Addresses: A continuous block of 15 DS Addresses is required.

3 DF Addresses: A continuous block of 25 DF Addresses is required.

4 Start Address: The lowest available starting blocks are selected by default. The user may choose any Start Address from the list for each Address type.

DF Addresses

Analog CPUs by default use a starting address of DF1 and consume these addresses. Analog Input and Output modules are also assigned to DF Addresses.

Auto Transfer

Auto Transfer from Analog Inputs and Auto Transfer to Analog Outputs can be configured. First, configure the PID normally. Then open the System Configuration for the Analog Modules, or the CPU Built-in I/O Setup for Analog CPUs. De-select the Continuous Address mode. For the Analog Input, select the PID_PV_ProcessRaw Address. For the Analog Output, select the PID_OUT_Control Address.
