I'm working on a new project and I have been given an AB Micro800 series plc to work on. I thought it would be similar to the 500 software, but it's somewhat different.
I am trying to do a couple of simple things that I cannot figure out...
1) Where is the "MOV" command? I looked through the help for quite a while and the closest I can find is the "1 Gain" instruction. But it seems strange that there isn't a move instruction...I'd like to move values into variables, which should be extremely easy, but can't figure it out.
2) I'm trying to use four inputs to select a value from 0 - 16 but I'm not finding any instructions for this. I'd like to mask the inputs, then roll right to convert the four inputs into an integer value(the mask and roll instructions I have found), but I can't find the move command again to move the input area into an int var that I can use the ROL command with
I must be missing something because it shouldn't be this hard to figure out...
