SLC Communication Instructions 12-15
Message Timeout for any SLC 5/05 channel 1 MSG cannot be modified
in the Ethernet Message Setup dialog box. It is assigned by the
processor and is determined by adding the Channel 1 MSG Connection
Timeout to the MSG Reply Timeout, then adding five seconds. This
value can be modified by changing one or both of the timeout values in
the channel 1 channel configuration screen. The modified message
timeout applies to all MSG instructions.
• Data Table Address

– For a Read, this is the starting address where the data is being read
from.
– For a Write, this is the starting address where the data is being written
to.
– To enter in a PLC-5 type logical ASCII address, begin the address
name with a $ and enclose the name in double quotes (example:
‘$N7:0’). To enter in a PLC-5 type symbolic address, enclose the
name in double quotes (example: ‘READ_TAG’).
• Data Table Offset

supported address forms are:
• tag_name.
• tag_name[x].
• tag_name[x,y] or tag_name[x][y].
• tag_name[x,y,z] or tag_name[x][y][z].
