Understanding the Addresses of the Memory Areas
The CPU 210 provides 4 digital input points and 4 digital output points. In addition to the I/O,
the CPU provides memory areas for storing information. These memory locations have
unique addresses that can be accessed by your program. Figure 4-10 shows the memory
areas and the range of addresses for the CPU 210.

Accessing the data in words (16-bit units) allows the following ranges of integer values:
S
Unsigned Integer:
0 to 65,535 (decimal)
0 to FFFF (hexadecimal)
S
Signed Integer:
-32,768 to +32,767 (decimal)
8000 to 7FFF (hexadecimal)
Using the Memory Address to Access Data
To access a bit in a memory area, you specify the address, which includes the memory area
identifier, the byte address, and the bit number. Figure 4-11 shows an example of addressing
a bit (which is also called “byte.bit” addressing). In this example, the memory area and byte
address (M=bit memory area, and 3=byte 3) are followed by a period (“.”) to separate the bit
address (bit 4).

MSB = most significant bit,and LSB = least significant bit
.
Area identifier (
M
= bit memory area)
Byte address: byte 3 (the fourth byte)
Period separates the byte address
from the bit number
Bit of byte, or bit number: bit 4 of 8 (0 to 7)
