Multi-Point Function Overview
The multi-point function provides an ergonomic user interface with the most
important bits in your application, by allowing you to monitor up to 32
non-contiguous bits of data at a time (16 bits for MicroLogix 1000 controllers).
Since the multi-point list is stored with the program, you can create a unique list for
each program. The multi-point list remains with the program, allowing a
programming device to access the list without having an offline copy of the user
program.
The Online Multi-Point List
The online multi-point list is maintained as part of the controller’s program.
Therefore, it is cleared whenever the controller’s memory is cleared.
The Offline Multi-Point List
An optional offline multi-point list can also be maintained as part of the program’s
archive file. This offline multi-point list is not part of the processor image.
However, this list can be copied to the online multi-point list if you want to add it to
the processor image.
Navigational Keys Available in the Multi-Point List
The following keys are useful when you are using the multi-point function. These
keys are active online or offline.
