Word 000

Reserve word 000 of the PLC processor output image table when using a
KA2. This means that commands from another station must not be
programmed to control word 000 or any of its bits.

Each PLC/PLC-2 station on a Data Highway can read from or write to
only one specific buffer file at a PLC-3 station. That is the PLC-3 input
file with a number that corresponds to the station number of the
PLC/PLC-2 station. For example, the read/write files assigned to
PLC/PLC-2 stations 1 to 100 (octal) would be as follows:

PLC/PLC-2 station numbers are octal, while PLC-3 input files have
decimal addresses. This means that PLC-3 input files with an 8 or 9 in
their addresses are not used for read/write access by a PLC/PLC-2 station.
The only exception to these rules is that station number 000 is assigned
input file I008.
