5-15 Data Shifting
All of the instructions described in this section are used to shift data, but in differ-
ing amounts and directions. The first shift instruction, SFT(10), shifts an execu-
tion condition into a shift register; the rest of the instructions shift data that is al-
ready in memory.
5-15-1 SHIFT REGISTER – SFT(10)

Limitations St must be less than or equal to E, and St and E must be in the same data area.
If a bit address in one of the words used in a shift register is also used in an in-
struction that controls individual bit status (e.g., OUT, KEEP(11)), an error
(“COIL DUPL”) will be generated when program syntax is checked on the Pro-
gramming Console or another Programming Device. The program, however,
will be executed as written. See
Example 2: Controlling Bits in Shift Registers
for
a programming example that does this.
Description SFT(10) is controlled by three execution conditions, I, P, and R. If SFT(10) is
executed and 1) execution condition P is ON and was OFF the last execution,
and 2) R is OFF, then execution condition I is shifted into the rightmost bit of a
shift register defined between St and E, i.e., if I is ON, a 1 is shifted into the regis-
ter; if I is OFF, a 0 is shifted in. When I is shifted into the register, all bits previously
in the register are shifted to the left and the leftmost bit of the register is lost.

The execution condition on P functions like a differentiated instruction, i.e., I will
be shifted into the register only when P is ON and was OFF the last time SFT(10)
was executed. If execution condition P has not changed or has gone from ON to
OFF, the shift register will remain unaffected.
St designates the rightmost word of the shift register; E designates the leftmost.
The shift register includes both of these words and all words between them. The
same word may be designated for St and E to create a 16-bit (i.e., 1-word) shift
register.
When execution condition R goes ON, all bits in the shift register will be turned
OFF (i.e., set to 0) and the shift register will not operate until R goes OFF again.
Flags There are no flags affected by SFT(10).
