Shift Right - HEIDENHAIN TNC 415 Technical Manual

3.9.2 SHIFT RIGHT (>>)
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 RIGHT instruction causes the contents of the Word Accumulator to be divided by two. For this
purpose, the bits in the Accumulator are simply shifted by one place to the right. The number of the shift
operations is determined via the operand. Thus the set bits, which are shifted beyond the Accumulator to
the right, are lost; the Accumulator is filled according to the sign, from the left-hand side. With operand
contents greater than 32, the operand value Modulo 32 is used, i.e. the integer remainder from the division
(operand value)/32.
Example:
The content of the Doubleword D8 is to be shifted four times to the right and then stored in D12.
Initial state:
The Accumulator content is shown here in binary notation and the operand content in hexadecimal
notation.

1 L D8 00000000
2 >> K1 00000000
3 >> K1 00000000
4 >> K1 00000000
5 >> K1 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 right 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 Doubleword D12.
