Appendix A.6. Rules for Naming Logix driver Data Arrays Unlike most other FieldServer drivers, the Logix driver attaches significance to the name of the Data Array used in the Logix Driver Map Descriptor. This is done to allow the user to easily declare a series of Data Arrays to be multiplexed through the input and output buffers of the SlotServer. - Page 32 All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com...
