    Setting Node Addresses The best network performance occurs when node addresses start at 0 and are assigned in sequential order. SLC 500 processors default to node address 1. The node address is stored in the processor status file (S:15L). Processors cannot be node 0. Also, initiators such as personal computers should be assigned the lowest numbered addresses to minimize the time required to initialize the network.

  • Page 249 Glossary The following terms are used throughout this manual. Refer to the Allen-Bradley Industrial Automation Glossary, Publication Number AG-7.1, for a complete guide to Allen-Bradley technical terms. address A character string that uniquely identifies a memory location. For example, I:1/0 is the memory address for data located in Input file word 1, bit 0.
  • Page 250 Glossary Boolean operators Logical operators such as AND, OR, NAND, NOR, NOT, and Exclusive-OR that can be used singularly or in combination to form logic statements or circuits. Can have an output response of T or F. branch A parallel logic path within a rung of a ladder program. Its primary use is to build OR logic.

  • Page 254 Glossary high byte Bits 8 to 15 of a word. housekeeping The portion of the scan when the controller performs internal checks and services comunications. Initiator A node on the DH-485 network capable of acting as a master. When an initiator has the token it can send messages and request replies from any node on the DH-485 network.
  • Page 255 Isolated Link Coupler The link coupler provides an electrically isolated network connection for an SLC 500 controller (processor or programming station). The link couplers connect the daisy-chained DH-485 communication cable. ladder logic A graphical programming format resembling a ladder-like diagram.
  • Page 256 M0/M1 File Transfer A M1/M0 file transfer is a method of moving large amounts of data between a SLC 500 processor and its scanner. It transfers files containing a maximum of 256 words and may take more than one SLC program scan to complete.
  • Page 257 A continuous deviation of a controlled variable from a fixed point. Off-State Current For input circuits, the maximum amount of leakage current allowed from an input device in its Off-state. Allen-Bradley PLCs Publication 1747-UM011C-EN-P - December 2001...
  • Page 258 Glossary off-state leakage current When a mechanical switch is opened (off-state), no current flows through the switch. Semiconductor switches and transient suppression components which are sometimes used to protect switches, have a small current flow when they are in the off state. This current is referred to as the off-state leakage current.
