I have the hardware beloww : D4-440; F4-16PID; D4-16NA-1 F4-16AD-1 F4-08THM D4-16TA F4-16DA-1 D4-08TA H4-ECOM I´d like to know what´s the v-memory adress ?

    The V-memory the F4-16PID uses will depend on how you configure it. See http://www.facts-eng.com/manuals/f416pidm.pdf page 5.1 (31 of 41)

    The V-memory the F4-16AD-1, the F4-08THM, and the F4-16DA-1 uses will depend on the multiplexing ladder you write. See http://www.automationdirect.com/static/manuals/d4anlg/d4anlg.html Chapter 6, 8, and 16.

    The discrete I/O (D4-16NA-1, D4-16TA, and D4-08TA) will be mapped to X's for inputs and Y's for outputs. See http://www.automationdirect.com/static/manuals/d4user/ch4.pdf 4-5 for I/O configuration basic information.

    Thanks for your help, but the v-memory in manuals start in v40400 position and in this position I don´t have information.

    I conected the laptop on-line and did the verification using the option CONFIGURE I/O.

    The result is :

    Slot Adrr IN Adrr OUT IN OUT ID Descri

    0 0 A 0 A 0 0 11 D4-DCM

    1 0 A 0 A 16 0 2B 16 PT IN

    2 20 A 0 A 16 0 2B 16 PT IN

    3 40 A 0 A 32 0 3F 32 PT IN

    4 0 A 0 A 0 16 28 16 PT OUT

    5 0 A 20 A 0 32 30 32 PT OUT

    6 0 A 60 A 0 8 20 8 PT OUT

    7 0 A 0 A 0 0 11 DCM

    With this information is possible know what´s the v-memory address for anlog input and outputs ?

    You have to add ladder logic like is shown on 6-15 to get the analog data from the F4-16AD-1 into V-memory: http://www.automationdirect.com/static/manuals/d4anlg/ch6.pdf

    You will need similar ladder logic for the other analog modules. See the examples in the chapter for each module in the D4-ANLG-M user manual.

    YOur Configure I/O results tell that:

    - the discrete inputs (D4-16NA-1) start at X0 and go for 16 bits. (V40400)

    - the analog Module starts at X20 and goes for 16 bits (v40401)

    - the thermocouple card starts at X40 and goes for 32 bits (V40402-V40403)

    - the AC OUT Card starts at Y0 and goes for 16 Bits (V40500)

    - Analog Out Card starts at Y20 and goes for 32 bits (V40501-V40502)

    - the 8ch OUT put card is at y60 and goes 8bits (V40503,LSB)

    A the end of chapter 3 of the USER MANUAL there are table that relate the Y, X, T, C addresses to the V addresses http://www.automationdirect.com/static/manuals/d4user/ch3.pdf (See pages 3-41 thru the end of the chapter) Each of the D4-4x0 CPU have the same memory scheme; the more expensive ones just have more memory addressable.

    If you are using DirectSOFT you will probably notice that when you enter an address like V40400, in a Data View box it will display the 'alais '. E.g. you type in V40403 and then the box will show VX60. Or you type V40601 and the box will show VC20.
