Data Transfer

■ Assignment ( = )

Format P1 = P2 Data Type U/S/UD/SD/F/B
Function Assigns the value of P2 to P1.
P1 (I/E) The destination.
P2 (I/E/C/AE) The source.
Example 1 $U2 = 123.45 (F) /* Assign 123.45 to $U2 (and $U3) */
Example 2 $U100.f = 1d (B) /* Turn on the specified bit */
Example 3 W60 = ($U30 + W50 - 1000) / 2 (SD) /* Write the result of the arithmetic expression to W60. */
Example 4 V0.0 = 2\M0 (B) /* Assign the bit value of M0 of link 2 to the bit V0.0 of link 1*/

■ Logical NOT ( = ! )

Format P1 = ! P2 Data Type B
Function Reverses P2 and saves the result in P1.
P1 (I/E) The location to save the result.
P2 (I/E) The operand.
Example 1 $U2.3 = !$U3.4 (B) /* If $U3.4 is 1 (On), $U2.3 is 0 (Off) */

■ " "

Format P1 = "P2"
Function Copies the quoted ASCII character string P2 to P1. Note that the string is a null terminated string. If the length of the string is N then N+1 bytes will be copied to P1 and the last byte is 0.
P1 (I) The location to save the result.
P2 (A) The quoted ASCII character string.
Example 1 $U60 = "TEST" /* The null character (00h) will be moved to the low byte of $U62 */
Example 2 $U20 = "ABCDE" /* The null character (00h) will be moved to the high byte of $U22 */

■ MOV

Format P1 = MOV(P2,P3) Data Type U/S/UD/SD/F
Function Copies P3 words of P2 to P1.
P1 (I/E) The starting location of the memory to receive the copy.
P2 (I/E) The starting location of the memory to be copied.
P3 (I/C) The number of words to be copied.
Example 1 $U100 = MOV($U200, 16) /* Copy the 16 words starting from $U200 to $U100 */
Example 2 W60 = MOV($U200, $U2) /* Copy the word array starting from $U200 with the size specified in $U2 to W60.*/
Example 3 $U10 = MOV(2\D100,10) /* Copy D100 ~ D109 of link 2 to $U10 ~ $U19.*/

■ SETM

Format P1 = SETM(P2,P3) Data Type U
Function Sets P3 words of P1 to word value P2.
P1 (I/E) The starting location of the memory to be set.
P2 (I/C) The set value or the location that holds the set value.
P3 (I/C) The number of words to be set. The max. no. of words are 512.
Example 1 $U100 = SETM(0, 16) /* Set the 16 words starting from $U100 to 0. */
Example 2 W60 = SETM($U200, $U2) /* Set the words of the word array starting from W60 with the size specified in $U2 to the value of $U200.*/

■ MOV_BITS

Format P1 = MOV_BITS(P2,P3) Data Type B
Function Copies a block of bits starting from P2 with a length of P3 to the bit block starting from P1.
P1 (I) The starting location of the bits to receive the copy.
P2 (I/E) The starting location of the bits to be copied.
P3 (C) The number of bits to be copied.
Example 1 $U100.0 = MOV_BITS($U200.0, 16)(B) /* Copy the 16 bits starting from $U200.0 to $U100.0. */
Example 2 $U10.1 = MOV_BITS(W60.1, 10) (B) /* Copy the 10 bits starting from W60.1 to $U10.1. */
