S7 indirect addressing examples?

Hi
I'm going to be showing a few lads the basics of indirect addressing this week. I need to teach them
about pointers etc and wondered if you had any ideas for examples/tasks I could set them.
The last example I'll be building up to will be to get them to write some code that will monitor a word
whereby each bit represents a fault on a machine and cycling fault messages on an OP7 display.
So.. detect that bit M70.0 is set and show the relevant message for 2 seconds, then check M70.1, M70.2
etc until you find one that is set and display the relevant message for 2 seconds before moving on.

Anyone got any other idea's of task/examples etc that I could get them to do or incorporate into my talk
to them?
Any thoughts/ideas appreciated.
Cheers
JT :-)

Here's a link to a previous post for an example of extracting data from an any pointer and decoding some
of the area types
http://www.plctalk.net/qanda/showthr...&highlight=ar1
You could expand this so it also outputs the value of the variable as well as the address of the variable.
(You could make your fault messages dynamically display the input address relevant to a fault)

Simon, thanks for the link. I think the FC397 you posted may be a bit beyond their scope but I might try
and simplify it down for them.
Many thanks.
JT
