Operands

OperandDescription
n1The first operand.
Entries are Hexadecimal WORD data registers or constants.
This is the base and slot number of the expansion module to write to.

This number depends on the amount of expansion modules the chassis contains.
n2The second operand.
Entries are DWORD data registers or constants.
This is the address of buffer memory where the data is written.

The value range depends on the buffer memory to write to.
SThe third operand.
Entries are DWORD data registers or constants.
This is the data to write to the buffer memory of the expansion module.
n3The fourth operand.
Entries are DWORD data registers or constants.
This is the amount of DWORD data to write.

The value range is 0 ~ 255.

Assignment Example

The following example shows how to assign values to n1 and Base/Slot.

n1

Base NumberSlot Number
H0A0B
Hexadecimal2 Digits in Hexadecimal2 Digits in Hexadecimal
CM1 vs CM3

The base number and slot number depend on the chassis type.
Since the CM3 chassis can only go up to 11 or 15 expansion modules, the base number is always 00.

Base/Slot (CM1)

Base NumberSlotExample
Local BaseSlot Number 5H0005 or 5
1st ExpansionSlot Number 3H0103
10th ExpansionSlot Number 7H0A07
14th ExpansionSlot Number 12H0E0C
16th ExpansionSlot Number 10H100A

Module/Slot (CM3)

ModuleSlotExample
CPUSlot 0H0000 or 0
1st ExpansionSlot 1H0001 or 1
5th ExpansionSlot 5H0005 or 5
10th ExpansionSlot 10H000A
15th ExpansionSlot 15H000F

Notice

Error Flag (F11.0) Notice

The error flag, F11.0, will be ON for one scan when the address of the data register assigned by @D exceeds the range of the data register, D. The range of the data register, D, is dependent on the CPU type.

F11.0 turns ON when access to the expansion module fails.
F11.0 turns ON when the base and slot number assigned to n1 is not an expansion module.
F11.0 turns ON when the number of data in n3 exceeds the range of the data register assigned to S.

Execution Condition

It is recommended that the DTO instruction be used with a pulse contact as an execution condition, or use the DTOP instruction.
