16 BIT OPERATION
destination devices D
numbered in octal) and an execution/busy flag (D
Points to note:
a) The source byte-data maps the lowest bit to the first destination device D
the highest bit of the byte is sent to destination device D
b) The PR instruction may only be used TWICE in a sequence program. This instruction
should only be used on transistor output PLC's. The PR instruction will not automatically
repeat its operation unless the drive input has been turned OFF and ON again.
c) The operation of the PR instruction is program scan dependent. Under standard
circumstances it takes 3 program scans to send 1 byte. However, for a faster operation the
PR instruction could be written into a timer interrupt routine similar to the one demonstrated
for HKY on page 5-82.
d)8 byte operation has the following timing diagram. It
should be noted that when the drive input (in the
example X0) is switched OFF the PR instruction will
ce as e o pe ra tion . W he n it is r es ta rte d th e P R
instruction will start from the beginning of the
message string. Once all 8 bytes have been sent the
execution/busy flag is dropped and the PR instruction
suspends operation.
e) 16 byte operation requires the special auxiliary flag
M8027 to be driven ON (it is recommended that
M8000 is used as a drive input). In this operation
mode the drive input (in the example X0) does not
have to be active all of the time. Once the PR
instruction is activated it will operate continuously
until all 16 bytes of data have been sent or the value
00H (null) has been sent. Once the operation is
complete the execution/busy flag (D
turned OFF and M8029 the execution complete flag
is set.
