MEQ = Masked Equal to

Example:

Output will be energized when N7:0 “AND” with N7:1 equals N7:5
Bit wise multiplication
 Programming PLC
Scale

N7:9= {N7:0 x (Rate/10000)} + offset

N7:9 = {44 x (5000/10000)} + 5
N7:9 = 27

Example:

When Input is energized, Scaling will be done

 Programming PLC
Square Root

N7:1= 49
N7:8 = 7 (after command executed)

Example:

When Input is energized, Square root function will be performed

Negate

N7:0= 44
N7:0 = -44 (after command executed)

Example:

When Input is energized, Negate function will be performed

MVM = Masked Move

N7:5 = N7:0 bit wise AND with N7:2

Example:

When Input is energized, MVM will be performed

Flow Control Instructions
Case 1: When Jump is not enabled
Jump & Label When I:0/5 is True/False B3:0 is On/Off
When I:0/4 is True/False B3:1 is On/Off
When I:0/3 is True/False O:0/2 is On/Off

Case 2: When Jump is Enabled

When I:0/5 is True/False B3:0 will be at last state – No effect
When I:0/4 is True/False B3:1 will be at last state – No effect
When I:0/3 is True/False O:0/2 is On/Off
Example:
 Programming PLC
Flow Control Instructions
Case 1: When Subroutine is not called
Jump Subroutine & Return U:3 i.e. Subroutine program wont be scanned by CPU

Main Program

Case 2: When Subroutine is called

U:3 i.e. Subroutine program starts getting scanned by CPU
Subroutine

Case 3: When Return is executed

Ouput of U:3 ladder get freezed & remain at that state
 Programming PLC
Temporary END

Example:

When I:0/5 is energized ladder below TND is not scanned by CPU

 Programming PLC
Temporary END

Example:

When I:0/5 is energized ladder below TND is not scanned by CPU

Sequencer Output

Example:

File is the address of the sequencer file. Make sure to use the file indicator (#). This file stores the reference data for
monitoring inputs.
Mask is a hexadecimal code or the address of the mask word or file through which the instruction moves data. If
the mask is a file, its length will be equal to the length of the sequencer file. The two files track automatically.
You can enter the code in binary, decimal, or hexadecimal.
Destination is the address of the output word or file for a SQO to which the instruction moves data from its
sequencer file.
Control is the instruction’s address and control element (3 words) that stores the status byte of the instruction, the
length of the file, and the position in the file. Do not use this address for any other instruction. Status bits in the
control file include
Length is the number of steps of the sequencer file starting at position 1. Maximum = 255 words (104 words when
using the MicroLogix controller). Position 0 is the startup position. The instruction resets (wraps) to position 1 at each
cycle completion.
Position is the word location or step in the sequencer file from/to which the instruction moves data. A position value
that points past the end of the programmed file causes a runtime major error to occur.

Sequencer Compare

Example:

R6:3/FD is bit which is ON when comparison is TRUE

i.e. When I:0.0 masked with B3:1 & result equals B3:0

This command can be used for diagnostic purpose such that to check
Whether specified inputs are ON or OFF at various stages of sequence
Ex Homing, Station 1, Station 2 etc.
 Programming PLC
Sequencer Load

Example:

This command stores the status of Inputs at N7:0 till number of position
mentioned. In this case upto N7:4

Position 1  N7:1
Position 2  N7:2
Position 3  N7:3
Position 4  N7:4 Values get over rite when cycle completes
