3.8 Counting Step Number
The number of steps in CPU module sequence instructions, basic instructions, and application
instructions differs depending on whether indirect setting of the device used is possible or not.
(1) Counting the number of basic steps
The basic number of steps for basic instructions and application instructions is calculated by
adding the device number and 1.
For example, the "+ instruction" would be calculated as follows:
(2) Conditions for increasing the number of steps
The number of steps is increased over the number of basic steps in cases where a device is
used that is designated indirectly or for which the number of steps is increased.
(a) When device is designated indirectly
In cases where indirect designation is done by @ , the number of steps is increased 1
step over the number of basic steps.
For example, when a 3-step MOV instruction is designated indirectly (example: MOV
K4X0 @D0
), one step is added and the instruction becomes 4 steps.
(b) Devices with additional steps (Except Universal model QCPU)
