File Operations

Chapter 6

6-5

Some of the options in the Select Reports menu—like PLC
Communication and Alarm Window—will document the entire
application file. Other options, such as Screens or Alarm Messages,
allow you to specify a range of screens or messages to be printed.

Compatibility Summary prints the firmware version

compatibility of each screen within the entire application, the
firmware version compatibility of the application itself, and the
enabled global features of the application.

Global Functions allows you to print the status of various

functions that are not related to specific screens. For example,
global functions may include the Time and Date to PLC
Controllers setting and screen number transfers, or may indicate
PLC controlled screens. See

Figure 6.9

for an illustration of this

report.

PLC Communication prints all the configuration settings for PLC

type, baud rate, push button input hold time, rack assignments, and
block transfer assignments.

I/O Usage Table prints both the assigned and free address bits.

Two tables are printed: an Output Table for each rack assignment
in numerical order by rack number, and an Input Table. Any block
transfer assignments will also be listed in numerical order by file
number.

I/O Address Cross Reference prints a report showing the

addresses used in the application file. The report will show all the
objects (choose All Addresses) or all objects with addresses within
a range that you define in the Starting Address and Ending
Address menus. The default Starting Address will be the lowest
defined address for the application; the default Ending Address is
the highest defined address for the application. The address range
can include inputs, outputs, discretes and block transfers.

Addresses are sorted as follows in the report:

Block Transfer addresses before discrete addresses

within discretes or block transfers:

- Input addresses before Output addresses

- File#/Rack# in numerically increasing order

Start Word in numerically increasing order (0–31)

Start Bit in numerically increasing order (0–17)
