Block Move
The Block Move function copies a selectable amount of data to a specified memory location.
It works like a Move function, except that it copies more than 16 bits at a time. The options
are explained below:
Option Example Description
Register > Register R001 0002 > R004 Copies the contents of R001–R002
into R004–R005.
R010 R020 > R100 Copies the contents of R010 to R100 in
incremental order, according to the
length specified in R020. For example,
if R020 contained the number 2, then
the contents of R010–R011 would be
copied onto R100–R101.
Coil (C) > Coil (C) C001 0010 > C014 Copies Internal Relay status coils
C001–C010 into C014–C023.
Output (O) > Output (O) O001 0016 >O033 Copies 16 output bits from
O001–O016 into O033–O048.
Input (I) > Output (O) I004 0016 > O033 Copies 16 input bits (I001–I019) into
outputs O033–O048.
Input (I) > Coil (C) I016 0006 > C020 Copies 6 input bits (I016–I011) into
internal coils C010–C025.
Coil (C) > Output (O) C001 0010 > O003 Copies 10 bits from internal coils
C001–C010 into outputs
O003–O012.
Programming Software Instructions
1. Select B–Move (F6) from the Math/Move function keys.
2. Enter the number to be moved. This can be a constant, or the contents of a specified
memory location (see above). For example: R001. Then press the Enter key.
3. Enter the data length. This can be a constant or the contents of a specified register
location. The number may represent either bits or words of data, according to the
data type being moved.
4. Enter a memory location to contain the result. Press the Enter key.
