PLC memory
Greetings of the day,
In a PLC which is having a 128Kb memory how many rungs I can create in it
Or in other words how many words (not %MW, just making random word) can I create in a 128Kb memory PLC
If it is limited can I use SD card to make more of it
Please help me coz I'm new in this automation field with a lot of doubts
Best Regards,
Amal

Hi,
You can look in the following document for example:
https://search-ext.abb.com/library/Do...
It is mentioned VAR data = 10 kB and 1 kB for VAR retain. May be there are some slight differences, depending of your CPU type
The SD memory card can be used to load and save retentive variables (RETAIN, %R area) - type sd card in codesys help.
But I don't think for extend the memory of the CPU.

Dear kstoilov,
Greetings of the day
Here you can see a variable named random1 which is a word. My question is that if I need to create a lot more of it can it done using an SD card?
