FROM – TO Instructions

 A Block Location – This is the physical position to the Right Hand Side (R.H.S) of
the base unit. For example, if two special units are attached to the PLC, the first
will be block 0 (K0), and the second special unit will be block 1 (K1).
 B Buffer memory area – This position writes to the required buffer memory
location. For example, K0 means that channel initialization data, i.e. H3320 will be
transferred to buffer memory 0 (BFM 0).
 C Data requirements of the FX2N-4AD – Information in this location is sent to the
buffer memory defined in B. In the above example, the data value H3320 is
transferred to BFM 0.
 D Amount of information to be transferred – This indicates the amount of data to
be transferred to the analogue unit. For example, as shown in the example above
‘K1’ indicates that only one word of information, i.e.H3320 is to be transferred to
BFM0.

FROM – TO Instructions

 A Block Location – This is the physical position of the unit, to the R.H.S. of the base
unit. For example if two blocks are attached to the PLC, the first will be block 0
(K0), and the second block will therefore be block 1 (K1).
 B Buffer memory area – This position reads from the required buffer memory
location. In the above example, the CH1-converted digital value, which is stored in
BFM 5 will be transferred to D0.
 C Destination of data read by the analogue unit – In the example shown above,
the converted digital output value for CH1 is transferred to data register D0.
 D Amount of information to be transferred – This indicates the amount of data to
be transferred from the analogue unit. For example as shown in the example
above, ‘K4’ indicates that four words of information are to be transferred to the
PLC.

59
FROM – TO Instruction

 Therefore with just one instruction the following would

occur:
 1. The contents of BFM 5 – CH1 – would be transferred to D0.
 2. The contents of BFM 6 – CH2 – would be transferred to D1.
 3. The contents of BFM 7 – CH3 – would be transferred to D2.
 4. The contents of BFM 8 – CH4 – would be transferred to D3.
