3 Copy and Block Functions
3.1 Copying Memory Area with SFC 20 "BLKMOV"
Description
You use SFC 20 "BLKMOV" (block move) to copy the contents of a memory area
(= source area) to another memory area (= destination area).
Permissible source areas are the following:
Parts of data blocks
Memory bits
Process-image partition (part process image) for inputs
Process-image partition (part process image) for outputs
The source parameter can be a part of the data block in the load memory which is
not relevant to program execution (DB compiled with the keyword UNLINKED).
Note
If your CPU contains SFC 83, you must use SFC 83 for reading data blocks that
are not relevant to program execution. If you use SFC 20, error W#16#8092 is
output.
