Page 287: When To Use This Procedure
Appendix Estimate Memory Use When to Use This Use this procedure to calculate the memory used for data conversions, instructions, and array indexes. Values are for a ControlLogix Procedure ™ controller (Cat. No. 1756-L1) and RSLogix 5000 software, version 6.00. When you download your project, the controller optimizes memory use, which could reduce your calculated memory use by as much as 10% from the...
Page 288: Data Conversions
Estimate Memory Use Data Conversions If you use a data type that is not an optimal data type or if you mix data types, you must add memory for data conversion. Sign-Extension Memory Requirements Use the following table to determine the memory required to convert data by sign-extension.

Page 295 Estimate Memory Use • The controller uses a 32-bit index for all arrays. If you use a tag other than DINT to reference a position in an array, you add the data conversion memory use (see page C-2) as well as the memory use for using a tag as an index.
Page 296 C-10 Estimate Memory Use • Changing the source and destination data type in the above examples, increases the instruction’s memory use. For example: TagA DINT TagC TagD SINT TableC INT[10] TableD SINT[2,4,6] Example: Additional Memory Used: MOV instruction 24 bytes for MOV instruction Source TagA 52 bytes for DINT to INT conversion (TagA into TableC)
Page 297 Estimate Memory Use C-11 • If you use an expression in the index, additional memory is used, depending on the operators. For example: TagA DINT TagB DINT TagF DINT TableA DINT[10] Example: Additional Memory Used: MOV instruction 24 bytes for MOV instruction Source TagA 84 bytes for DINT tag index (TableA)
Page 298 C-12 Estimate Memory Use • The worst-case scenario occurs when you have multiple references to non-DINT, multidimensional arrays with non-DINT indexes into those arrays. For example: TagC TagD SINT TagE TableD SINT[2,4,6] TableE INT[2,4,6] Example: Additional Memory Used: MOV instruction 24 bytes for MOV instruction Source TableD[TagC, TagD, TagE]...
Page 299 Estimate Memory Use C-13 • You can further optimize this instruction by changing all the array indexes to immediate values. For example: TagA DINT TagB DINT TagF DINT TableB DINT[2,4,6] TableF DINT[2,4,6] Example: Additional Memory Used: MOV instruction 24 bytes for MOV instruction Source TableB[0,1,2] no other additions...
