One of the buttons on the right of the window is used to access the Data Tables. The Data Tables are a
comlete listing of every database location (also called datapoints) by its data type. Use of the Data Tables
is described in
Section 7.4.14 .
An Options button is used to access and modify the controller model number mentioned earlier.
7.3.2 Selecting a Function Index
The 53MC5000 contains a very important multi-purpose data point, B000. This data point used to store
the Function Index of the unit (often referred to as the FIX).
The Function Index may be displayed by using the drop-down combo box at the upper left of the Database
Editor window (shown in
Figure 7-1 ) to specify a control strategy or a controller mode. (If this drop-down
box is used, the actual value to be stored in B000 need not be known. However, the information is pre-
sented so you can make the correlation between what you read here and what you read in the 53MC5000
manuals.)
Use the Data Tables button (on the right of the window) to access the Data Tables, which display all data
points by their addresses. Use of the Data Tables is described in
Section 7.4.14 .
Use the Options button (also on the right side of the window) to access the Select MC5000 Options win-
dow. This window is used to specify the options supported by the target 53MC5000 during configuration of
an off-line database.
Clicking on the drop-down arrow of the Function Index combo box will yield the display illustrated in
Figure 7-2 .
Depending on the value stored as a function index, the controller will perform one of the following actions:
• Go into suspend state (B000 = 0):
When the 53MC5000 is in suspend state, the MicroMod logo is the only display. In this mode,
the control program being executed stops, analog control outputs hold their last value, contact
outputs hold their last state, analog inputs continue to be measured, and the totalizers and
