Data File Organization and Addressing E-17
Sequencer Instructions
The following figure shows a user-defined file within bit data file 3. For this
particular user-defined file, you would enter the following parameters when
programming the instruction.
• #B3:4 - The address of the file. This defines the starting element as
element 4, bit file 3.
• 6 - The specified length of the file, 6 elements beyond the starting address
(totals 7 elements).
You can use user-defined integer files or bit files with sequencer instructions,
depending on the application. You can program as many files as you like
within another file. However, be careful that the files do not overlap.
Copy File and Fill File Instructions
These instructions manipulate user-defined files. The files are used as source
or destination parameters in Copy File or Fill File instructions. Files can be
Output, Input, Status, Bit, Timer, Counter, Control, or Integer files. Two
examples are shown in the following figure. Note that the file length is the
specified number of elements of the destination file; this differs from the file
length specification for sequencer instructions.

Address of the user-defined file is #B3:4.
Length of the file is 6 elements beyond the starting address
(elements labeled 0-6 in the diagram).
