Given the context: using 'DLL' to reduce the number of direct connections to the switch PLC and DLL motion Safety DLL DLL Field IO Rather then connecting the devices directly to the Stratix switch, you can use the two embedded switch ports to create a linear segment off of the Stratix switch... ...

A COP instruction does not care about if there is a mismatch between the Source/Destination datatypes... It just moves xx number of bytes which is determined by LEN of the Destination. If the COP Source has 40 bytes (10 DINTs) and the Destination has only 16 bytes (4 DINTs), it will only move 16 bytes. ...

You could check out the Power Device Library from the PCDC. You'll notice they copy the Input into the AOI. Here is an example using the PVSD on top of the raC_Dvc_PF753. The PVSD has all the interlocks, permissives, alarms and etc. and ultimately send the start/stop commands to the raC_Dvc_PF753. ...

Unrelated to alarms... but related to memory. I converted a SLC to CompactLogix and it was very tight on memory. The conversion converted everything from 16-bit INT to 32-bit DINT and there was a considerable amount of data files e.g. N7, N10-N30 which were now all DINT arrays in the CompactLogix. ...
