FFL - First In, First Out
(FIFO) Load
Instruction Type: output
On a false-to-true rung transition, the FFL instruction loads words or long
words into a user-created file called a FIFO stack. This instruction’s
counterpart, FIFO unload (FFU), is paired with a given FFL instruction to
remove elements from the FIFO stack. Instruction parameters have been
programmed in the FFL - FFU instruction pair shown below.
This instruction uses the following operands:
• Source - The source operand is a constant or address of the value
used to fill the currently available position in the FIFO stack. The
address level of the source must match the FIFO stack. If FIFO is a
word size file, source must be a word value or constant. If FIFO is a
long word size file, source must be a long word value or constant.
The data range for the source is from -32768 to 32767 (word) or
-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 (long word).
