Chapter
Data Table Access Module

Overview
This chapter describes features and capabilities of the Data Table
Access Module.
Module Overview
The Data Table Access Module (Catalog Number 1747-DTAM-E) is

a plant floor device that allows you to access data file information,
change operating modes, monitor and clear processor faults, and
transfer memory with any SLC 500 family processor.
Important: The DTAM module does not support the floating point,
string, and ASCII data values that can be used with
SLC 5/03 OS301 and later processors.
Data can be monitored or modified in any SLC 500 family
processor.
Ten Quick Recall Functions are provided to assign frequently
monitored and/or modified data file addresses to a simplified
function key sequence.
Processor operating modes can be changed between Run mode
and Halt mode. (For SLC 5/03 processors, the keyswitch must be
in the REM position before the mode can be changed.)
Processor faults can be viewed and cleared.
Memory can be transferred between CPU RAM and CPU
EEPROM.
Two operational modes are provided: Monitor and Modify.
These modes are enabled or disabled by a factory-installed
jumper or by a user-supplied security key switch.
The Monitor Override feature allows you to modify data at
specified addresses while in the Monitor mode.
The Auto Attach function initiates processor communications.
Prompts can be displayed in six, user-selectable languages:
English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese.
Shorthand addressing provides easier access to default data files.
The module can be used as a point-to-point interface to a SLC
family processor or as a network device on a DH485 Network.
The module can be used as an operator interface to display
messages from SLC processors, such as the SLC 5/02 processor,
on a DH485 Network.
The module is UL-Listed, CSA-Certified and meets NEMA
Type 12 and 13 enclosure applications.

Mounting the Module
The module is designed for mounting in a cutout on the door of an

enclosure. The cutout and drilling dimensions for the module are
shown on the following page.We have also included a full-size tearout mounting template (appendix D) for your convenience.
When locating the cutout on the enclosure door:
Provide 139.7 mm (5.5 in) clearance behind the enclosure door
and 50.8 mm (2.0 in) electrical clearance above and below the
module housing.
ATTENTION: To keep the module temperature

within the specified range, enclosure temperature must
be between 0 to 55 (32 to 131 F).
2-2
Before drilling in the enclosure door, all power to the enclosure

must be disconnected. Make sure the drill bit does not contact
equipment and cause damage.
ATTENTION: The module has ventilation holes on

the top and bottom of the back cover. If you make
additional holes in the enclosure, cover the module
ventilation holes to protect against metal shavings
entering the module housing.
Do not remove top label until after installation.

A strain relief tab on the back of the module helps reduce stress
on the interconnect cable when the door is opened. Once the
module is installed, insert the cable under the tab and bend the
tab downward to secure the cable.

How to Change Data

File Values
Once you have the desired data file address displayed on the module,
you may change the value stored there, change the sign of an Integer
value, or change the on/off status of individual bits.
How to Change Word Values

You can change the value of a displayed word by using the [ ] and
[
] keys or by entering new values, using the numeric keys.
You may use the [ ] and [
] keys to change values stored at data
file word addresses.
1. To increment the value stored at T4:3.PRE:

When pressing these keys, the longer you hold the key, the faster the
values change.
When you use the [ ] and [
] keys, the module display
automatically rolls over or under the value when the numeric high or
low limit of the data file is reached. The following table lists the
values for the different files:
Data File
Roll Over/Under Range

Roll over at 32767 to 0
Timer PRE and ACC
Roll under at 0 to 32767
Counter PRE and ACC

Control LEN and POS

Quick Recall Function

Overview
The module has the capability to let you define and use up to 10 data
file address Quick Recall Functions. These functions are stored in the
modules nonvolatile memory. They allow you to assign frequently
accessed data file addresses to a simplified keystroke procedure. You
may later recall these addresses by pressing two keys instead of using
the addressing procedure described in the previous chapter.
Quick Recall Functions also provide the ability to write data to
selected data file addresses when the module is configured for the
Monitor mode. This Monitor Override feature is enabled in the
Module Setup Procedure described in chapter 3.

Operation Notes
Rung 0
Input instruction I:1.0/0 initiates the first message instruction.
This message prompts you to enter a value for the low range
of the machine process. The initial value indicates that a
minimum value of one should be entered. The Data Entry
Destination Address is N10:1. The Acknowledge Bit Address
is B3:1.0/1 or B3/17.
Rung 1
This input instruction B3/17, is the user-designated
acknowledge bit from the first message instruction. It is used
to initiate the second message which prompts you to enter a
value for the high range of the machine process. The initial
value indicates a maximum of 250 should be entered. The
Data Entry Destination Address is N10:2. The Acknowledge
Bit Address is B3:1.0/3 or B3/19.

Appendix
SLC 500 Data Files and Logical

Addressing
This appendix provides you with an overview of SLC 500 family data
files and logical addressing. It describes:
data files
data file types
data file addressing
Data Files
Data files contain the status information associated with external I/O
and all other instructions you use in your program. In addition, these
files store information concerning processor operation.
Data File Types

For the purposes of addressing, each file type is identified by a letter
(identifier) and a file number.
File numbers 0 through 7 are the default files, created for you. If you
need additional storage, you can create files by specifying the
appropriate identifier and a file number from 10 to 255. This applies
to Bit, Timer, Counter, Control, and Integer files only. Refer to the
tables on the following page.

SLC 500 Data Files and Logical Addressing
Address Structure
Data files contain elements. Some data files have 1-word elements,
some have 3-word elements. You will be addressing elements, words,
and bits.
Addresses are made up of alpha-numeric characters separated by
delimiters. Delimiters include the colon, slash, and period.
Typical element, word, and bit addresses are shown below.

The address format varies, depending on the file type. This is

explained in the following sections. We begin with file 0 and 1,
outputs and inputs, and follow with files 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
Data Files 0 and 1 - Outputs and Inputs

Bits in file 0 are used to represent external outputs. Bits in file 1 are
used to represent external inputs. In most cases, a single 16-bit word
in these files will correspond to a slot location in your controller, with
bit numbers corresponding to input or output terminal numbers.
The tables on the following pages describe the I/O addressing
methods for both fixed and modular controllers.

Data File 3 - Bit

File 3 is the bit file, used principally for relay logic instructions, shift
registers, and sequencers. The maximum size of the file is 256
1-word elements, or a total of 4096 bits. You can address bits by
specifying the element number (0-255) and the bit number within the
element (0-15). You can also address bits simply by numbering them
in sequence, from 0 to 4095.
You can also address elements of this file.
