For a 16-bit signed integer, SLC 500 counters can count within th

SOLUTION

• 16-bit is a computer hardware device or software program capable of transferring 16 bits of data at a time.
• The signed range of integer values that can be stored in 16-bits is: -2^n-1 to 2^n-1 – 1
• i.e. -2^16-1 to 2^16-1 – 1 = -32,768 to +32,767

While the unsigned range is

0 to 2ⁿ – 1

0 to 2¹⁶ – 1

0 to 65,536

NOTE:

• SLC 500 series is a series of Allen-Bradley programmable logic controllers that are used for variety of applications.
• SLC 500 series features ladder-logic with a structured text programming.
