Course Outline

Module 4

This module begins with a review of the training demo unit creating a project for use with it. I/O Configuration is covered in depth. The creation of the program routines needed for the class as well as the logic to call them is then presented. Move and word level logic instructions are introduced, followed by the scaling of analog data. The last two lessons are related in that they deal with working with more than a single word of data at a time.

Course Outline

Module 5

This modules starts off with reinforcing some of the basics presented in Modules 1-4. The features of the GSV and SSV instructions are presented to get and set system values. The next lesson goes over the status flags used to monitor certain events in the logic and then instructions used to manipulate and move data. After this, indirect addressing is discussed as a powerful method of accessing tags. To conclude the module, the student will gain an introduction to instructions that work on a file level, otherwise known as arrays.
