Am improperly asked question will always receive an answer that is not desired.

It may take awhile to write 1600 word addresses. What is a WORDS address?
WORD 1
WORD 2
WORD 3
This will take forever.

source??? > target???

The method depends on the media.

What is your source?

What is the means of communication?

What is the target?

Two pieces of advice:

1) Know your instruction set.
2) Organize you data.

No mention of type of CPU etc..here. Or data from what to what??

Take a look at your instruction set and look for the MOV or MOVE instruction. You should be able to move a block of words to another block in one fell swoop.

If you provide more detal you might get a better answer...

Use XFER (Omron) transfer function. Difficult if your PLC does not have the function but we do not which PLC you are using.
