Word shifting

Example

Storing the stop duration of equipment in memory as history

Outline
The stop duration of equipment is measured using the internal timer of the KV, and is stored into data memory
DM0000. When the equipment stops again, the previous stop duration is transferred to DM0001 and the current
stop duration is written into DM0000. The last 5 stop durations are stored.

Example:
When stop 1 (1 min), stop 2 (2 min and 28 sec), and stop 3 (51 sec) are input sequentially, the contents of each
data memory is changed, as follows, each time a new stop duration is input.
Stop 1 (1 min)

#00060

DM0000:

Stop 3 (51 sec)

Stop 2 (2 min and 28 sec)

DM0001:

#00148

#00051

#00060

#00148
#00060

DM0002

DM0004

Programming Technique
Use the FOR-NEXT instructions and indirect addressing of data memory.
Use the LDA instruction and STA instruction to shift words in the data memory. The content of each data memory is
transferred as follows:
(4)

(5)
DM0000
Latest stop duration

(3)
DM0001

(2)
DM0002

(1)
DM0003

DM0004

(1): Content of DM0003 is transferred to DM0004.

(2): Content of DM0002 is transferred to DM0003.
(3): Content of DM0001 is transferred to DM0002.
(4): Content of DM0000 is transferred to DM0001.
(5): Latest stop duration is transferred to DM0000.

Indirect addressing of the data memory (format: #TMxx) can be performed using temporary data memory (such as TM10 and TM11).

When word shifting (1) is performed, for example, #00003 and #0004 are specified respectively for TM10 and TM11
to transfer data from #TM10 to #TM11 using the LDA instruction and STA instruction.
Word shifting of (1) to (4): Transfer from #TM10 to #TM11 is repeated using the FOR-NEXT instructions.
To use the FOR-NEXT instructions in combination with indirect addressing of data memory, refer to examples 1 and 2 of
FOR-NEXT applications of the visual KV Series Users Manual, Indirect addressing on page 521.

Subroutine for executing word shifting

TM03
STA

To execute word shifting (1) first, DM0003 and

DM0004 are specified using TM02 and TM03.

FOR
#00004

Program between FOR and NEXT is repeated

4 times.
Content of the data memory indirectlyaddressed by TM02 is transferred to the data
memory indirectly-addressed by TM03. Then,
the value of TM02 and that of TM03 are
decremented respectively by one, and data
memory No. for the next word shifting is
specified.

#00004

Tips

After execution of program between FOR

and NEXT is terminated, the latest stop
duration is transferred to the data memory
(DM0000) indirectly-addressed by TM03.
If indirect addressing of data memory using temporary data memory is not used for the
above programming, program for word shifting (for which LDA instruction and STA instruction
are used) is shown below.

Just change this value!

If word shifting is executed 20

times using the LDA instruction
and STA instruction, program
becomes longer as frequency
of execution increases.

FOR
#00004

When indirect addressing is used, what you have

to do is just to change the value of operand for the
FOR instruction. The program does not become
longer.
