Moving Values

[Hawkmoon42 0]

Using RSlogix 500 and a SLC 505, I want to move different values to 4 7 segment digital displays conected to O:4.0. How do I simply move values in BCD so as to display on any of the 4 displays. ie 0000 0000 0000 0111 if moved to O:4.0 will display 7 in the first digital display from the left. But if i want to move it to the second DD from the left how would I do this. Thanks Gary

See Picture. Use the TOD instruction and move instruction.

Thanks Micky I had worked it out my self actually. I was to obsessed with moving part of a word, as in - 0000 0000 0000 0111 > 0000 0000 0111 0000 It never occured to me to multiply or devide the integer by 10 first, then convert to BCD, followed by using a masked move to the output Edited 10 Mar 2008 by Hawkmoon42

The PLC 5 and COntrollogix have a nuce command called Bit Field Distribute which allows you to move "nibbles" won't help in this case but might in another processor family.
