3. NOTE DirectNet protocol does not support single bit write operations There is an advantage available when you use the bit override feature The regular forcing is not disabled because the bit override is enabled For example if you enabled the Bit Override for YO and it was off at the time then the CPU would not change the state of YO However you can still use a programming device to change the status Now if you use the programming device to force YO on it will remain on and the CPU will not change the state of YO If you then force YO off the CPU will maintain YO as off The CPU will never update the point with the results from the application program or from the I O update until the bit override is removed from the point The following diagram shows a brief overview of the bit override feature Notice the CPU does not update the Image Register when bit override is enabled Bit Override OFF Bit Override ON Input Update Inputdpdate eos X128 _ _ x2 x xo OFF ON ON OFF Force from yi28 _ Y2 Y1 YO Force from Programmer y LOFF ON ON OFF Programmer Nl c377 _ c2 c1 co Nl EN p OFF ON OFF OFF z esult o uko l Regist l Program Solution MAOS EE EE Ea AUX 5B Counter Interface Configuration AUX 5B is used with the DL205 Counter Interface module D2 CTRINT to select the module configuration You can cho

7. Day of week 0 6 Sunday thru Saturday e Time 24 hour format Hours Minutes Seconds You can use the AUX function to change any component of the date or time However the CPU will not automatically correct any discrepancy between the date and the day of the week For example if you change the date to the 15th of the month and the 15th is on a Thursday you will also have to change the day of the week unless the CPU already shows the date as Thursday You can also perform this operation from within DirectSOFT by using the PLC Setup sub menu DL205 User Manual 4th Edition Rev B l A 7 Appendix A Auxiliary Functions E AUX 53 Display Scan Time AUX 53 displays the current minimum and maximum scan times The minimum and maximum times are the ones that have occurred since the last Program Mode to Run Mode transition You can also perform this operation from within DirectSOFT by using the PLC Diagnostics sub menu AUX 54 Initialize Scratchpad The DL205 CPUs maintain system parameters in a memory area often referred to as the scratchpad In some cases you may make changes to the system setup that will be stored in system memory For example if you specify a range of Control Relays CRs as retentive these changes are stored PEPA NOTE You may never have to use this feature unless you have made changes that affect system memory Usually you ll only need to initialize the system memory if you are changing programs an
