AB MicroLogix 1100 Ethernet communication driver’s read schedule
Read schedule setting parameters are as follows:
1) STATION – Don't care.
2) memory type and file number – memory type = O, I, S, B, T, C, R, N, F, L, file number = 3 ~ 999(Refer to <Table 1>).
O, I, S memory type = don't input file number. (fixed 0, 1, 2)
3) Read Start Address – read start address of memory.
4) Save Start Address for Communication Server – save start address.
5) Read Size – word unit size.

You can write AB MicroLogix 1100 PLC by writing settings.
Bit Write
Bit write setting parameters are as follows:
1) PORT Port no. (0 ~ 255)
2) STATION Don't care.
3) ADDRESS Upper 3 digit = word unit writing address (10 digit), Lower 1 digit = 0 ~ F(16 digit) writing bit pos.
4) Extra1 Memory type = O, S, B, T, C, R, N and 3 ~ 999 file number. (refer to <Table 1> )
5) Extra2 Don't care.
Write example 1)
PORT : 0 STATION : 0 ADDRESS : 0000 EXTRA1 : O EXTRA2 : 0
The setting parameter shown above is an example of bit write for 0 word, bit 0 of memory O for AB MicroLogix 1100 PLC connected with 0 port.
Write example 2)
PORT : 0 STATION : 0 ADDRESS : 000F EXTRA1 : O EXTRA2 : 0
The setting parameter shown above is an example of bit write for 0 word, bit F of memory O for AB MicroLogix 1100 PLC connected with 0 port.
Word Write
Word write setting parameters are as follows:
1) PORT Port no. (0 ~ 255)
2) STATION Don't care.
3) ADDRESS F, L memory = double word unit writing address(10 digit), O, S, T, C, R, N = word unit writing address (10 digit).
4) Extra1 Memory type = O, S, B, T, C, R, N and 3 ~ 999 file number. (refer to <Table 1> )
5) Extra2 Don't care.
Write example 1)
PORT : 0 STATION : 0 ADDRESS : 0000 EXTRA1 : N7 EXTRA2 : 0
The setting parameter shown above is an example of word write for 0 word of memory N7 for AB MicroLogix 1100 PLC connected with 0 port.
Write example 1)
PORT : 0 STATION : 0 ADDRESS : 0012 EXTRA1 : F8 EXTRA2 : 0
The setting parameter shown above is an example of word write for 12 float(double word) of memory F8 for AB MicroLogix 1100 PLC connected with 0 port.
Block write
Block write comes to be executed by ‘PlcScanWriteBlock’ script function.
Available script variables are ushort, uint, float.
Script name and format: @PlcScanWriteBlock(int port, int station, int address, string extra1, string extra2, object array_value, int array_size);
Scripting example 1)
If you want to set by 12, 13, 14, 15 in N7 memory 5, 6, 7, 8 WORD format address.
ushort writeVal[4];
writeVal[0] = 12;
writeVal[1] = 13;
writeVal[2] = 14;
writeVal[3] = 15;
@PlcScanWriteBlock(0, 0, 5, “N7”, “”, writeVal, 4);
Note) Block write of AB MicroLogix 1100 Ethernet communication driver is available only WORD/DWORD/FLOAT/DOUBLE unit.
Also Block write is supported 10.1.4.3 version or higher.
