Shift and Rotate Instructions in PLC

Shift and Rotate Instructions in PLC

Block Description

Shift Right Integer:

Shift Right Integer instruction is used to shift bits 0 to 15 of input IN bit by bit to the right. The input N specifies the number of bits by which to shift.

After shifting, the bit position shifted in from the left to fill vacated bit position are filled with 0 if 15th bit (Sign bit) of input data is 0 or 1 id 15th bit (Sign bit) of input is 1.

Example 1:

Input IN: 1010 0110 1000 1000

N: 2

OUT: 1110 1001 1010 0010

Example 2:

Input IN :0011 0001 0001 1100

N:2

Output OUT : -0000 1100 0100 0111

Shift Right Double Integer:

Shift Right Double Integer instruction is used to shift bits 0 to 31 of input IN bit by bit to the right. The input N specifies the number of bits by which to shift.

After shifting, the bit position shifted in from the left to fill vacated bit position are filled with 0 if 15th bit (Sign bit) of input data is 0 or 1 id 15th bit (Sign bit) of input is 1.

Example 1:

Input IN: 0001 0111 1010 0111 1110 0011 1010 0101

N: 3

OUT: 0000 0010 1111 0100 1111 1100 0111 0100

Example 2:

Input IN :1011 1111 1111 0100 1110 0011 1010 0101

N:3

Output OUT : -1111 0111 1111 1110 1001 1100 0111 0100

Shift right Word:

Shift right Word instruction is used to shift bits 0 to 15 of input IN bit by bit to the right. The input N specifies the number of bits by which to shift.

After shifting, the bit position shifted in from the left to fill vacated bit position are filled with 0.

Example 1:

Input IN: 0011 0110 1100 0110

N: 2

OUT: 0000 1101 1011 0001

Example 2:

Input IN: 1111 0110 1100 1111

N: 2

Output OUT: -0011 1101 1011 0011

Shift Right double Word:

Shift Right double Word instruction is used to shift bits 0 to 31 of input IN bit by bit to the right. The input N specifies the number of bits by which to shift. After shifting, the bit positions shifted in from the left to fill vacated bit position are filled with 0.

Example 1:

Input IN: 0011 0110 1110 0011 1000 0110 0111 0111

N: 3

OUT: 0000 0110 1101 1100 0111 0000 1100 1110

Example 2:

Input IN : 1111 0110 1110 0011 1000 0110 0111 0111

N:3

Output OUT: -0001 1110 1101 1100 0111 0000 1100 1110

Rotate Right Double Word:

Rotate Right Double Word instruction is used to rotate the entire content of input IN bit by bit to the right. Input N specifies the number of bits by which to rotate.

The bit position shifted in from the left is assigned the logic states of the bits which were rotated out to the right.

Example 1:

Input IN : 1100 0110 0111 0011 0101 0101 1010 1100

N: 2

Output OUT: 0011 0001 1001 1100 1101 0101 0110 1011

Ladder Logic

Shift Register in PLC
Rotate Instructions in PLC

Network 1:

Input I0.0 is pressed, SHR_I instruction reads the value in MW0, shifting 2 bit right and result the output to MW4. Q0.0 enables as long as I0.0 enables.

Network 2:

Input I0.0 is pressed, SHR_DI  instruction read the value in MD8, Shifting 3 bit right and result the output to MW14. Q0.1 enables as long as I0.0 enables.

Network 3:

Input I0.0 is pressed, SHR_W instruction reads the value in MW18, shifting 2 bit towards rights and result the output to MW22. Q0.2 enables as long as I0.0 enables.

Network 4:

Input I0.0 is pressed, SHR_DW instruction reads the value in, Shifting 3 bit towards the right and result the output to MD30. Q0.3 enables as long as I0.0 enables.

 Network 5 :

Input I0.0 is pressed, ROR_DW instruction reads the value in MD34, rotate the bits towards and result the output to MD40. Q0.4 enables as long as I0.0 enables.

Variable Table:

Variable is used to view the inputs and outputs in different formats.

Shift Register Variables in PLC

In Siemens, MW is the address used for integer data, MD is the address used for double integer data.

Status Value in Variable table is used to see the input and output values.

Modify the value in the variable table is used to give input data.
