Operands:
S: Start device for the source data m
1
: Groups of data to be sorted (m
1
=1~32) m
2
: Number of
columns in the table (m
2
=1~6) D: Start device for the sorted data n: The No. of column to be
sorted. (n=1~ m2)
Explanations:
154. The sorted data is stored in the m
1
× m
2
registers starting from the device designated in D.
Therefore, if S and D designate the same register, the sorted results will be the same.
155. SORT instruction is completed after m
1
times of scan. Once the SORT instruction is completed,
the Flag M1029 (Execution completed flag) = ON.
156. There is no limitation on the times of using this instruction in the program. However, only one
instruction can be executed at a time
Program Example:
When X0 = ON, the sorting process starts. When the sorting is completed, M1029 will be ON. DO
NOT change the data to be sorted during the execution of the instruction. If the sorting needs to be
executed again, turn X0 from OFF to ON again.
