14-8 File Instructions
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.
