8.16 INDEX Register (X Register)
January 2012
You can use the index register for:
Data transfer
Buffering results
Indexed addressing of operands
The index register is 32 bits wide.
You can use the X register anywhere in the program. The control does not
check whether the current content is valid. Exception: For indexed write-
accesses, the control checks whether the permissible address range is
exceeded.
Example: = B100[X]
When the permissible address range is exceeded, the control issues the error
message 320-0420 PLC: index range incorrect. After restarting the control,
you must not acknowledge the POWER INTERRUPTED message. Switch to the
PLC editor, where you will be shown the error line.
Note
At the beginning of the PLC cycle, the control sets the index register to 0.
Assign the index register a defined value before using it in your program.
The following addresses are valid:
Mn[X]
In[X]
On[X]
Cn[X]
Tn[X]Operand number = n+X
Bn[X]Operand number = n+X
Wn[X]Operand number = n+2*X
Dn[X]Operand number = n+4*X
BTX Content of index register = operand
BCX Content of index register = operand
BSX Content of index register = operand
Sn[X]String number = n+X
S#Dn[X]Dialog text number = n+X
S#En[X]Error text number = n+X
S#An[X]ASCII code +X
Sn^X Substring from X-th character of the n-th string
The types K, and K$ cannot be indexed.
Note
If you address S#Dn[X] or S#En[X], the control loads the sequence
<SUB>Dnnn or <SUB>Ennn in the string accumulator, where nnn is the
modified string number.
