FAQ00923 of Programmable Controllers FAQ

Assuming that CIO 0.00 to CIO 0.07 are allocated to other input bits, the following two conditions must be met to create the program.

1.Only the digital switch value from CIO 0.08 to CIO 0.15 is to be extracted from CIO 0.

2.The 8 bits extracted in the previous step must be moved to the lower 8 bits of a word so that they can be used in processing in the next program rung.

Use the MOVE DIGITS instruction (MOVD) to Meet Conditions 1 and 2 Above

The MOVE DIGITS instruction (MOVD) can be used to meet the conditions described in items 1 and 2 above.
