MOV command

[Guest FM]

I'm currently debugging a Mitsubishi PLC program (FX-48MR) In this program there are some unknown variations of the MOV command. For example the following instruction: ------[MOV D5 K1M122] I figured out this means that if D5 = 1 -> M122 is true If D5 = 2 -> M123 is true If D5 = 3 -> M122 & M123 is true If D5 = 4 -> M124 is true If D5 = 5 -> M122 & M124 is true If D5 = 6 -> M123 & M124 is true If D5 = 7 -> M122 & M123 & M124 is true I also found the following instruction, which I don't understand: ------[MOV K255 K4M103] Does anybody know what the meaning is of K4 in front of M103? Greetings FM

You should read the manual first.

The MOV command can work in 4 bit nybbles. The K1 tells MOV to use only the first four bits (m122 to m125). K2 is 8 bits. K4 is 16 bits.

sergei and larry are both correct. you need to get (and read) the manual and the KxMxxx is grouped representation for different number of bits. K4M102 means: K4 = 4 nibbles (one nibble is 4bit so this is 16 bit total) M102 = starting address of the group (M102-M118) Note that when DESTINATION (address writen to) is a group of bits in the datatype where bits are 16-bit associated (like Dxxx) all 16bit are affected If the quantifier is less then K4 For example instruction MOV K1X0 D10 will copy four input bits (X0-X3) into D10 register (D10.0-D10.3) as expected but the remaining 12 bits of the D10 register is altered as well (bits D10.4-D10.F are cleared). This is not the case if destination file is bit type.
