Link register (W)

The link register (W) is a data register with a device number represented in hexadecimal. The area where not used in
network parameter can be used as a data register. In the link register, numeric data (-32768 to 32767, or 0000
FFFF ) can be stored.

(1) Bit structure of the file register
(a) Bit structure and write/read unit
One point of the link register consists of 16 bits, and data can be written or read in units of 16 bits.
Link register data are handled as signed data. In the case of the hexadecimal notation, 0000
However, because the most significant bit represents a sign bit, decimal values that can be specified are -32768 to 32767.
(b) Using in a 32-bit instruction
For a 32-bit instruction, two consecutive points of the data register (W
processing. The lower 16 bits correspond to the link register number (W
higher 16 bits correspond to the specified link register number + 1.
Ex. When W12 is specified in the DMOV instruction, W12 represents the lower 16 bits and D13 represents
the higher 16 bits.

(2) Retention of stored data
The data stored in the link register are held until other different data are stored. Note that the stored data are
initialized when the CPU module is powered off or reset.
When using a link device in the network module by using the points of the link register in the CPU module (default: 8192
points) or greater, change the points setting of the link register in the "Device" of the "PLC Parameter".
