Single instruction to OR two arrays in RSLogix5000

[Salman S.]

Is there a single instruction or a simple way of OR'ing two arrays together? I want to avoid looping a bitwise OR, as it would require me to create unnecessary for loop routine.

e.g If I have a tag 'Array' with two elements and another tag 'Array2' with two elements, I want the resultant Array[0] or Array2[0] and Array[1] or Array2[1] to be saved in a destination array tag.

Obviously the above example is trivial enough to repeat the instruction but when there are 100+ elements, loop is the only practical option.

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

FAL can handle bitwise OR's on DINT arrays.

in Ladder, FAL.
in structured text, FOR loop.
in FBD, you need to create an AOI, with either a structured text FOR or Ladder FAL.

Thanks for the suggestion rdrast and austrailian! FAL was exactly what I was looking for.
