4. Initial Value
This field presets the value of the data when the power is turned on. If no initial value
is entered, the data is not initialized when the power is turned on (which is useful for
preserving data values when the power is cycled).

5. Starting Word
The cells in this column contain a drop-down box. The contents are a list of valid
words starting at zero. The maximum value is derived from either of two places,
depending on the configuration of the controller, as follows:
• If the controller is configured as a network master, the Starting Word range is
defined by the System Properties > Remote I/O Block > Input/Output Word
properties.
• If the controller is configured as a network slave, the Starting Word range is defined
by the System Properties > Network Block > Input/Output Word properties.
6. Bit
This selection is only available if the Type is “input bit” or “output bit”. Select “0”
through “F” from the drop-down list. If a bit type variable is not defined, this cell
appears gray, and cannot be set. Also, under DeviceNet configuration, if an odd
number of bytes are defined, the drop-down list only shows “0-7” if the final “Starting
Word” is selected.
7. Base Address
This field is a read only field indicating the register location of the data in the
controller memory. This is provided for debugging with MotionWorks™ or accessing
data via Memobus serial communication. Base Address is determined by the infor-
mation specified in the Node, Starting Word, and Bit columns.
8. HMI Checkbox
This field is used to set data to be written to the HMI export file.
