ROC Point Types

The availability of point types varies by model and by how the particular unit is equipped. Points may be physical I/O or internal I/O.

Physical I/O Points

Physical I/O points are one of Discrete Inputs (type 1), Discrete Outputs (type 2), Analog Inputs (type 3), Analog Outputs (type 4) and Pulse Inputs (type 5). The logical address for physical I/O points is based on their position in the unit, known as point number. There are four slots for each rack. The I/O field is not typically fully populated.

Note: Rack and slot are ROC nomenclature; however, many ROC devices have no physical racks or slots.

Logical addresses are calculated from the point number reference. For information on reconciling the point number to the logical address, refer to the table below.

ROCLINK Point Number	Server Logical Address
A1-A16	0-15
B1-B16	16-31
C1-C16	32-47
D1-D16	48-63
E1-E16	64-79
...	...

For example, an I/O point with ROCLINK 800 point number "A5" would be logical address "4". An I/O point with ROCLINK 800 point number "C5" would be logical address "36" by the function A + B + C5 (or 15+16+5=36).

Internal I/O Points

Internal I/O points consist of PID settings, system flags, communications parameters and other internal information. The internal I/O logical address begins at 0 for each point type. A ROC unit may have one or several of a given internal point type. Each point type has a specific set of parameters. ROC drivers have no array types.
