8.2 FNC 01 – CALL / Call Subroutine
8.2 FNC 01 – CALL / Call Subroutine
Outline
This instruction calls and executes a program which should be processed commonly in a sequence program.
This instruction reduces the number of program steps, and achieves efficient program design.
For creating a subroutine program, FEND (FNC 06) and SRET (FNC 02) instructions are required.
1. Instruction format
2. Set data
P63 is dedicated to CJ (FNC 00) instruction (for jump to END step), it cannot be used as a pointer for CALL (FNC 01)
instruction.
3. Applicable devices
Explanation of function and operation
1. 16-bit operation
While the command input is ON, CALL instruction is executed and the program execution jumps to a step with a label
.
Then, a subroutine program with the label is executed.
When SRET (FNC 02) instruction is executed, the program execution returns to the step after CALL instruction.
• At the end of the main program, put FEND instruction.
• Put a label (P) for CALL instruction after FEND instruction.
Operand type Description Data type
