Program Plan Intro

Data manipulation instructions:

  • Data manipulation instructions enable the numerical data that exists in the controller’s memory to be performed within the control program.
  • Data manipulation instructions allows manipulation of data that is stored in either single or multiple words groups.
  • It also includes the transfer of data from one data memory area of the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to another.
  • In order to accomplish data manipulation, there are mainly two different kinds of instructions.
    • Instructions which operate on word data.
    • Instructions which operate on file or block.
  • There are mainly two broad categories of data manipulation instructions as follows:
    • Data transfer instructions
    • Data comparison instructions

MOV instruction:

  • Move (MOV) instruction is used to copy the data of the source register into destination register.
  • Here, the contents of the source register will not be altered.
  • In other words, it is used to copy the value in one word or register to another word or register.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
In the Allen-Bradley MOV instruction, constants such as 250, 400, 5.5, etc., can be entered into the source location of the MOV instruction rather than a memory address containing the value to be moved. True False
Which register is utilized as a counter by the LOOP instruction when it is executed in real-address mode?
In the event that an instruction is not accepted, it will write to VA page 30. In circumstances like these, it would be more efficient to employ a TLB that is handled by software rather than one that is maintained by hardware.
