The Micro PLC instruction set includes these Math functions:

Move

The Move function copies 1 word (16 bits) of data to a speci-

 

fied memory location.

Block Move The Block Move function copies a selectable amount of data to a specified memory location. It copies more than 16 bits at a time.

Indirect Move The Indirect Move function copies a constant or the content of register to a variable register location.

Move

The Move function copies 1 word (16 bits) of data to a specified memory location. The possible choices are:

Register > Register

Input (I) > Register

Register > Coil (C)

Coil (C) > Register

Register > Output (O)

Programming Software Instructions

1.Select Move (F5) from the Math/Move function keys.

2.Enter the number to be moved. This can be a constant, or the contents of a specified bit or register memory location. In the example shown, the Move function copies 16 bits located from I001 through I016. Then press the Enter key.

3.Enter a memory location for the data to be copied to. The memory type (bit or register) must be compatible with the data being moved. Press the Enter key. The software will not let you select an incompatible memory type.
