General Use Registers File Registers Index Registers

Refer to the programmer’s manual for the use of these registers



Week

Special Instructions of Mitsubishi PLC Applied Instructions are the ‘specialist’ instructions of

the FX family of PLC’s, format is shown below.



Week

Representation of the operands

Bit devices, individual and grouped Word devices Interpreting word data



Week

Bit Devices Devices such as X, Y, M and S are bit devices Bit devices can be grouped together to form bigger

representations of data, 8 consecutive bit devices are referred to as a byte

16 consecutive bit devices are referred to as a word 32 consecutive bit devices are a double word



Week

Grouped Bit Devices the form KnP is used to denote a group of devices P represents the head address of the bit devices to be

used the Kn portion of the statement identifies the range of

devices enclosed each “n” digit actual represents 4 bit devices “n” can be a number from the range 0 to 8



Week

Word Devices Word devices such as T, C, D, V and Z can store data

about a particular event or action within the PLC these devices are 16 bit registers pairs of consecutive data registers or combined V and

Z registers may form 32-bit devices PLC’s can read the word data as: A pure bit pattern; A

decimal number; A hexadecimal number;or as a BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) number



Week

Signed binary representation Signed binary representation of a group of 16 devices



Week

Hexadecimal Representation Hexadecimal representation of a group of 16 devices



Week

BCD Representation BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) representation of a group of 16

devices



Week

Scientific Notation• Scientific Notation use two devices to store information

about a number• one device contains a data string of the actual

characters in the number (called the mantissa)• while the second device contains information about the

number of decimal places used in the number (called the exponent)

• Scientific Notation limits are;• 9999 x 1035 ~ 9999 x 10-41

• -9999x 1035 ~ -9999 x 10-41



Week

Scientific Notation• Scientific Notation can be obtained by using the BCD,

or EBCD in FX2N, instruction (FNC 18 or FNC 118) with the float flag M8023 set ON

• In this situation floating point format numbers are converted by the BCD instruction into Scientific Notation

• The mantissa and exponent are stored in consecutive data registers



Week

Scientific NotationScientific format cannot be used directly in calculations, but it does provide an ideal method of displaying the data on a monitoring interface



Week

Floating Point Format• extends the abilities and ranges provided by Scientific

Notation with the ability to represent fractional portions of whole numbers

• a greater degree of accuracy • Decimal data can be converted in to floating point by

using the FLT, float instruction (FNC 49) • When this same instruction is used with the float flag

M8023 set ON, floating point numbers can be converted back to decimal



Week

Floating Point Format• occupy two consecutive data registers (or 32 bits) • cannot be directly monitored, as they are stored in a

special format recommended by the I.E.E.E (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers)

• have both mantissa and exponents

Applications of the Special Instructions

Using Battery Backed Devices• The status of the latched devices (in this example FX M coils M600

and M601) is retained during the power down. • Once the power is restored the battery backed M coils latch

themselves in again, i.e. the load M600 is used to drive M600



Week

Applications of the Special InstructionsIndexing Through Multiple Display Data Values



Week

Applications of the Special InstructionsIndexing Through Multiple Display Data Values• The contents of 10 counters are displayed in a

sequential operation. • The paging action occurs every time the input X11 is

received. • What actually happens is that the index register Z is

continually incremented until it equals 9. • When this happens the comparison instruction drives

M1 ON which in turn resets the current value of Z to 0 (zero).



Week

Applications of the Special InstructionsReading And Manipulating Thumbwheel Data

• BIN instructions read in the data values• the first value, the single digit stored in D1, is combined with the

second data value D2 (containing 2 digits)• by the SMOV instruction, the contents of D1 is written to the third

digit of the contents of D2, the result is then stored back into D2



Week

Applications of the Special InstructionsMeasuring a High Speed Pulse

Input – a 1 ms timer pulse measurement

• utilizes two interrupt routines to capture a pulse width and measure it with a 1ms timer

• the 1 ms timer T246 is driven when interrupt I001 is activated.

• when the input to X1 is removed the current value of the timer T246 is moved to data register D0 by interrupt program I100

• the operation complete flag M0 is then set ON, X10 acts as an enable/disable flag



Week

Summary of Advanced PLC Programming

․ PLC systems offer sophisticated instructions to manipulate data of various kinds and perform complicated program logic flow

․ For advanced PLC programming, it is often machine specific.

․ Applied Instructions are the ‘specialist’ instructions of the FX family of PLC’s, they allow the user to perform complex data manipulations, mathematical operations while still being very easy to program and monitor.
