MOVE

Overview

IEC operator for the assignment of a variable to another variable of an appropriate data type.

The MOVE operator is possible for all data types.

As MOVE is available as a box in the graphic editors FBD, LD, CFC, there the (unlocking) EN/ENO functionality can also be applied on a variable assignment.

Example in CFC in Conjunction with the EN/ENO Function

Only if en_i is TRUE, var1 will be assigned to var2.

 

 

Example in IL

Result: var2 gets value of var1

LD     var1
MOVE
ST     var2

You get the same result with

LD     var1
ST     var2

Example in ST

ivar2 := MOVE(ivar1);

You get the same result with

ivar2 := ivar1;
