Single or multiple segments of memory can be set to read.

Segment attribute Description
Base address The basic address of a software component, which divides its functions
Data Type The data type of the initialization item read
Starting address The address of the first software component in this section
Quantity Number of initialization items read

Attention:

Quantity refers to the number of items in the table, not the number of registers. Because there is a situation where a value occupies multiple registers.

For example, in the segment starting from D1000 in the second setting, each double word occupies two D registers, namely D1000, D1002, D1004..., until D1198.

  1. Click OK to establish communication with the PLC, read the memory to generate the initialization table.
