FX Series Programmable Controllers Basic Program Instructions 2
2-22
2.19 No Operation
Basic points to remember:
- Writing NOP instructions in the middle of a program minimizes step number changes
when changing or editing a program.
- It is possible to change the operation of a circuit by replacing programmed instructions
with NOP instructions.
- Changing a LD, LDI, ANB or an ORB instruction with a NOP instruction will change the
circuit considerably; quite possibly resulting in an error being generated.
- After the program ‘all clear operation’ is executed, all of the instructions currently in the
program are over written with NOP’s.
