DefaultProcessor

The default PLC type for the target PLC. Valid entries are PLC5 and SLC500. If no Processor

entry exist in the [SegmentN] Section (page 44), this processor type is assumed. Default is PLC5.

[SEGMENTN] SECTION

This section contains entries for the A-B file copy map. N is the segment index. A default table of

segment information is established when SB starts up. The segment composition can be

completely overwritten in this section. Some parameters in the default segment layout are

settable with entries in the [PLCDefault] Section (page 43) The following rules apply for the

default segment table:

SourceAddress First element associated with the first controller in this segment. See

MCPerSegment (page 43). There are four segments per set of MCs

DestAddress Same as SourceAddress

Elements Depends on the MCPerSegment setting. Using the default (5), 40 for

N12, 35 for N13, 40 for F14 and 15 for F15.

DataTypes WORD for N files, FLOAT for F files. If the target PLC is a SLC500/04,

this default must be overridden with RAW for F files in the DataTypes

entry in the [SegmentN] Section (page 44)

Access READ for N13 and F15, MODIFY for N12 and F14.

PortID Default is 1KT:0.

Station According to the entry in DefaultStation in the [PLCDefault] Section

(page 43).

Processor According to the entry in DefaultProcessor in the [PLCDefault] Section

(page 43).

TimePeriod 1000, corresponding to 1 s.

SourceAddress

This is the file address in SB of the first element for segment N. It must be an existing element in

N12, N13, F14 or F15.

DestAddress

This is the file address in the target PLC of the first element for segment N. It must be an existing

element in an allocated file, not necessarily N12, N13, F14 and F15. See Allocating A-B files

(page 12). The destination PLC file should be the same type as the source file.
