Address Descriptions
ROC addresses are divided first by Point Type, Logical Address, and then by Parameter Index within the Point
Type. The general format is T-L.P, where:
l T: The Point Type.
l L: The Logical Address.
l P: The Parameter Index.
Parameters are blocked together on Point Type and Logical Address to a size up to 236 bytes. Some parameters
are broken down into individual bits. Those parameters are addressed as T-L.P:B, where:
l B: The Bit Offset.
For example, the address 1-50.3:2 indicates the following:
l Point Type: 1
l Logical Address: 50
l Parameter: 3
l Bit Offset: 2
For a detailed listing of all point type parameters, access, data type, length, and description, refer to the ROC
device's ROC Protocol User Manual. For more information on ROC addressing, select a link from the list below.

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.
