Mitsubishi Q series...BMOV command. What is this instruction doing?

Sorry a bit of a typo it should be M100 to M212 in other words 112 bits in 16 bit blocks.

Understood, thanks

I suspect the prefix K stands for "constant", because in Japanese "constant" would be written in Roman letters as "konsutansuto". Not sure if it is true but it is a rule for remembering when you see "K" followed by a number.

Interesting, thanks AQ.

K, H, E are are respectively decimal, hexadecimal and floating point costants

In GX Developer to let the compiler know what type of value is as stated above apha chars are used i.e. K decimal H Hex etc. In the later software like GXWorks these have been dropped in some areas like when moving constants or using maths functions, however, in the case of accessing an array of bits then they still use the "K" constant, however, when it compiles it the K is put in automatically so the code is compatible with the original.
