Basic addressing
For the Allen-Bradley PLCs and the simulator
used, the input and output image areas (in
addition to other data) are held in data files
Each data file holds information such as

ProSim simulations
The Logixpro simulator provides a set of built-in simulations
The I/O simulation initially will be of most use since it provides
access to simulated discrete inputs (switches) and outputs
