Addressing Modes
The MicroLogix 1100 supports three types of data addressing:
• Immediate
• Direct
• Indirect
The MicroLogix 1100 do not support indexed addressing. Indexed
addressing can be duplicated with indirect addressing. See Example -
Using Indirect Addressing to Duplicate Indexed Addressing on page 87.
How or when each type is used depends on the instruction being
programmed and the type of elements specified within the operands of
the instruction. By supporting these three addressing methods, the
MicroLogix 1100 allows incredible flexibility in how data can be
monitored or manipulated. Each of the addressing modes are described
below.
Immediate Addressing
Immediate addressing is primarily used to assign numeric constants within
instructions. For example: You require a 10 second timer, so you program
a timer with a 1 second time base and a preset value of 10. The numbers
1 and 10 in this example are both forms of immediate addressing.
Direct Addressing
When you use direct addressing, you define a specific data location within
the controller. Any data location that is supported by the elements of an
operand within the instruction being programmed can be used. In this
example we are illustrating a limit instruction, where:
• Low Limit = Numeric value (from -32,768 to 32,767) entered
• Test Value = LCD:0.POT0 (This is the current position/value of
• High Limit = N7:17 (This is the data resident in Integer file 7,
The Test Value (LCD:0.POT0) and High Limit (N7:17) are direct
addressing examples. The Low Limit is immediate addressing.
