All the IBox does is generate the ladder logic to set up the pointer method, so I guess the answer is "yes ". The IBox does not do the old multi-plexing logic, if that is your question.

Yup, just use the IBox - it expands out to the pointer method logic based on the PLC/CPU and the slot number that you provide (the lone slot in the 05 is slot "1 ")
