3.9 Shift Commands

3.9.1 SHIFT LEFT (<<)
Abbreviation for PLC Editor:
Execution time [µs]
Number of bytes
Operands: B, W, D, K
Operation:
Since the sign bit (MSB) is included with this command, it is grouped in with arithmetic commands.
For this reason and out of time considerations, this command should not be used for the isolation of bits.
A SHIFT LEFT instruction causes the contents of the Word Accumulator to be multiplied by two. For this
purpose, the bits in the Accumulator are simply shifted by one place to the left. The result must lie in the
range of –2 147 483 648 to +2 147 483 647, otherwise the Accumulator contains an undefined value.
The number of shift events is defined by the operand. The Accumulator is filled on the right side
with nulls.
Initial state:
The Accumulator content is shown here in binary notation, and the operand content in hexadecimal
notation.

1 L D8 00000000
2 << K+1 00000000

4 << K+1 00000000
5 << K+1 00000000
6 = D12 00000000
Line 1: Load Doubleword D8 into the Accumulator.
Line 2 to 5: The content of the Word Accumulator is shifted to the left by the number of bits
specified in the operand. The complete operation can also be undertaken with the
command << K+4.
Line 6: The result is stored in the Doubleword D12.
