The following example shows a type “A” (array) type/data parameter.
The array data type includes one descriptor as part of its data field. This
descriptor must be counted as part of the data field size:

Bit 76543210

10010111

00001001

01000010

ID in Next 1 Byte
Size = 7 Bytes (6 Data Bytes Plus 1 Descriptor Byte)

Integer, Size = 2 Bytes Each

Integer 1,

00000000

00000000

11111110

ID = 9 (Array)

Integer 0,

11111111

11111111

Integer 2,

(MS)

(LS)

Value = –2

(LS)

Value = 0

(MS)

(LS)

Value = 255

(MS)

00000000

Not all sizes are legal for all formats. The “END” data type always has a
size value of zero (0), and the “B” data type will either have a size value
of 4 (single precision or 8 (double precision). Each of the Allen-Bradley
predefined structures has a fixed size.

Upload All Request

Use this command before uploading a complete system to place the
processor in an Upload mode (T50 terminal displays “Download” mode).
A no privilege error is returned if the programmed device does not have
the privilege of placing the processor into an Upload mode. This error
occurs when:

the processor is in Run or Remote Run mode (must be in Program or

Remote Program mode),

the processor is being edited, or
some other station is already downloading to the processor.
