GE Understanding the BLKMOV Function for Block Move Instructions

4

BLKMOV (INT, WORD, REAL)

Use the Block Move (BLKMOV) function to copy a block of seven constants to a specified location.

Note

The REAL data type is only available on 350 and 360 series CPUs, Release 9 or later, or on all releases of CPU352.

The BLKMOV function has eight input parameters and two output parameters. When the function receives power flow, it copies the constant values into consecutive locations, beginning at the destination specified in output Q. Output Q cannot be the input of another program function.

Note

For BLKMOV_INT, the values of IN1 — IN7 are displayed as signed decimals.

For BLKMOV_WORD, IN1 — IN7 are displayed in hexadecimal. For

BLKMOV_REAL, IN1— IN7 are displayed in Real format.

The function passes power to the right whenever power is received.
