31 Data Transfer 3 – FNC277 to FNC279
31.1 FNC278 – RBFM / Divided BFM Read
31.1 FNC278 – RBFM / Divided BFM Read
Outline
This instruction reads data from continuous buffer memories (BFM) in a special function unit/block over several
operation cycles by the time division method. This instruction is convenient for reading receive data, etc. stored in
buffer memories in a special function unit/block for communication by the time division method.
FROM (FNC 78) instruction is also available to read the buffer memory (BFM) data.
→ For FROM (FNC 78) instruction, refer to Section 15.9.

Explanation of function and operation
1. 16-bit operation (RBFM)
"n1" buffer memory (BFM) units at location # "m2" in special function unit/block No. "m1" are read to in the PLC.
While transferring, "n1" is divided by "n2" so n1/n2 buffer memories (rounded up when there is a remainder) are
transferred per scan time.
→ For the unit No., buffer memory (BFM) #, cautions, and program example,
refer to Subsection 31.1.1.
• When the instruction is finished normally, the instruction execution complete flag M8029 turns ON. When the
instruction is finished abnormally, the instruction execution abnormally complete flag M8329 turns ON.
• When RBFM (FNC278) or WBFM (FNC279) instruction is executed in another step for the same unit number, the
instruction non-execution flag M8328 is set to ON, and execution of such an instruction is paused.
When execution of the other target instruction is complete, the paused instruction resumes.
