IMPORTANT NOTES: "The Register and Range of Relay Numbers" listed in this appendix is
the range that allows for setting. In real operation, please be sure not to exceed the maximum
range of the numbers that the PLC-CPU defined.
NOTE: Set the PLC's communications parameters according to the following table; set the
Workstation's baud rate and data format to match the PLC's transmission speed and format;
Set the Workstation‘s Default Controller Station Number to match the PLC’s address:

Note 2: The Workstation can read up to 256 bits with one read command.
When the Workstation changes an on/off location, it reads a byte from the PLC that contains 8
on/off locations, changes the desired bit, and writes the byte to the PLC. These steps require
more than one PLC scan to complete, so your PLC ladder program must not control other bits
within the same byte. If it does, there is a risk that the Workstation will reverse a change that
the PLC makes.
For example, if the Workstation changes FB100.3, it reads FB100.0 through FB100.7 as a
single byte, changes FB100.3 within that byte, and writes that entire byte back to the PLC. If
your PLC ladder changes some other relay within that byte in the meantime, then the
Workstation's subsequent write will cancel that change.

This parameter is borrowed for determining the maximal number of words
the Workstation can read with one read command. The more words the
Workstation can read with one command the better performance you will
get for the block read operations. Note that not all applications can have
64-word or 32-word, because the Workstation's response time of
communication may not fast enough with your application. You have to test
it carefully.

StationNumbers
If your Workstation is connected directly to the processor module, it doesn't matter what
station numbers you enter for the PLC and Workstation.
For application where one or more Workstations are connected to one or more PLCs, Square
D provides Network Interface Modules(NIMs) that provide ports for the Workstation, the PLC,
and the SY/NET network. You must set the PLC and Workstation numbers to their respective
NIM addresses. For example, if you set the rotary switches on the NIM to 24, and if the
Workstation is connected to port 0 and the PLC to port 1, then the Workstation's station
number is 024 and the PLC's station number is 214.
You must set the DIP switches on NIM for SY/MAX operation. On DIP switches S4 and S5, be
sure that switches 2 and 3 are in the down position. Also make sure that switch 1 has the
factory setting of up, which disables the receive broadcast mode.
Square D refers to station numbers as "routing numbers," where the Workstation is the
"source" and PLC is the "destination." The Workstation supports only a single level of routing
numbers, which means that it can access any PLC on the NIM's network, but cannot access a
PLC on any other networks.

Note 2: The Workstation can read up to 960 bits with one read command.
When the Workstation changes a bit, it reads a word from the PLC that contains 16 bits, changes
the desired bit, and writes the word to the PLC. These steps require more than one PLC scan to
complete, so your PLC ladder program must not control other bits within the same word. If it does,
there is a risk that the Workstation will reverse a change that the PLC makes.
For example, if the Workstation changes W1234:7, it readsW1234:0 through W1234:15 as a
single word, changes bit 7 within that word, and writes that entire word back to the PLC. If your
PLC ladder changes some other relay within that word in the meantime, then the Workstation's
subsequent write will cancel that change.

When the Workstation changes a relay, it reads a byte from the PLC that contains 8 relays,
changes the desired bit, and writes the byte to the PLC. These steps require more than one PLC
scan to complete, so your PLC ladder program must not control other bits within the same byte.
If it does, there is a risk that the Workstation will reverse a change that the PLC makes.
For example, if the Workstation changes B3, it reads B0 through B7 as a single byte, changes
B3 within that byte, and writes that entire byte back to the PLC. If your PLC ladder changes
some other relay within that byte in the meantime, then the Workstation's subsequent write will

TMR/CTR Bits
Bnnn
nnn=octal number 600-677
The last digit must be 0
When the Workstation changes a relay, it reads a byte from the PLC that contains 8 relays,
changes the desired bit, and writes the byte to the PLC. These steps require more than one PLC
scan to complete, so your PLC ladder program must not control other bits within the same byte. If
it does, there is a risk that the Workstation will reverse a change that the PLC makes.
For example, if the Workstation changes B3, it reads B0 through B7 as a single byte, changes B3
within that byte, and writes that entire byte back to the PLC. If your PLC ladder changes some
other relay within that byte in the meantime, then the Workstation's subsequent write will cancel
that change.
