5-2 Programming Examples

Procedure

1. Create integer file N10. Integer file N10 should contain eight

elements (N10:0 through N10:7).

2. Using the programming software, enter the configuration

parameters for all eight thermocouple channels into data file
locations N10:0 through N10:7.

3. Program a rung in your ladder logic to copy the contents of

integer file N10 to the eight consecutive output words of the
thermocouple module beginning with O:3.0.

Initial programming example

On power up, bit S:1/15 is set for the first program scan. During the
first program scan, the configuration data in N10:0 through N10:7 will
be sent to the 1746-NT8 channel configuration words.
