Different Brands of PLC and their Addressing

1) ABB PLC:
The format for the digital I/O address is as below,

 Input address: I0, I1, I2,…………, In.

 Output Address: Q0, Q1, Q2, Q3, ………….., Qn.

2) Siemens PLC:
The format for the digital I/O address is as below,

File types Byte Number.Bit Number

Consider, I/O address for the 1 Byte-

 Input address: I0.0, I0.1, I0.2, I0.3,……. I0.7.

 Output Address: Q0.0, Q0.1, Q0.2, Q0.3,……. Q0.7.

3) AB PLC:
The format for the digital I/O address is as below,

File type: Slot Number. Word Number/ Bit Number

Consider, I/O address for the 1 Byte-

 Input address: I:0.0/1, I:0.0/2, I:0.0/3, ……….., I:0.0/7.

 Output Address: O:0.0/1, O:0.0/2, O:0.0/3, ……….., O:0.0/7.

4) Delta PLC & Mitsubishi PLC:
In both PLC, the function’s addresses for input, output, and memory are the same. The format for the digital I/O address is as below,

 Input address: X0, X1, X2,…………, Xn.

 Output Address: Y0, Y1, Y2, Y3, ……….., Yn.
