In order to use the indirect addressing, contents of the word that is the
indirect operand have to be in BCD format. Besides that, value of the
contents of indirect operand must not be greater than the number of
addresses in DM area.
INSTRUCTION FORMAT
Operand is the address of a word or a bit in PLC controller memory (most of
the instructions has one or more operands). The common term for a word is
just “operand” and in the case of bit we call it “operand bit”. Also, operand
can be a direct numerical value marked by character “#” placed ahead of the
value (i.e.. #12, #345 etc).
The state of operand bit can be ON or OFF. ON means that its logic state
equals “1”, while OFF stands for “0”. Besides these, terms “set” and “reset”
are also used.
