*1To access those addresses and use them in the program of the External Device, you need to set the External Device first.
*2The BOOL device descriptions used in the BLUE manual and the Studio 5000 manual are different. Please be aware of these differences when setting up BOOL devices.

*3The maximum length of the STRING device is 82 bytes.
The following procedure shows how to assign the device in the Studio 5000 (former RSLogix5000) software and specify the address in BLUE.
(1) External Device Tag Setting
Create a Tag Name in the Studio 5000 software, and set the Data Type (normally an array the size of the number of registers desired).
Tag Name |
Set as desired. |
Type |
Select the data type from the following to set the Element. Match the device name of BLUE. BOOL(32bit data type) INT(word data type) DINT(dword data type) SINT(byte data type) REAL(float data type) |
When the device name of BLUE does not match the data type of a Tag, Display may not run normally.
Set the range used
in BLUE
for the Element. The maximum Element that BLUE
can access is 999.
If you do not define the Tag as an array, only one register is
available to use. (Example) Tag Name: When you set INT8, Type:
INT, you can use only one word for INT8.
<Example 1>
Tag Name |
Type |
INT7 |
INT[200] |
DINT1 |
DINT[100] |
DATA2 |
SINT[50] |
1st line: Tag Name "INT7" is INT data type with 200 elements
2nd line: Tag Name "DINT1" is DINT data type with 100 elements
3rd line: Tag Name "DATA2" is SINT data type with 50 elements
(2) Mapping
Map the created Tag Name to a File Number.
File Number |
Assign the Tag Name created by Studio 5000 to the optional File Number. You can not assign different Tag Names to the same File Number. |
<Example 2>
File Number |
Name |
2 |
DATA2 |
1 |
DINT1 |
7 |
INT7 |
(3) Address Specification in BLUE
When you access the External Device from BLUE, specify Type, File Number, and Element.
<Example of address mapping of BLUE and External Device>
