4.12.1 Numbers of pointers
The table below shows numbers of pointers (P and I). (Numbers are assigned in decimal.)
When using a pointer for input interrupt, an input number assigned to it cannot be used together with a "high speed
counter" or "speed detection (FNC 56)" which uses the same input range.

4.12.2 Functions and operation examples of pointers for branch
The roles and operations of pointers for branch are as described below.
Because all of these pointers are combined with applied instructions, refer to the explanation of each instruction for the
detailed method.
→ For details on interrupt function, refer to Chapter 36.
1. Applied instructions using pointers for branch (P)
• CJ (FNC 00) (conditional jump)
• CALL (FNC 01) call subroutine
• Role of pointer P63 for jump to the END step
P63 is a special pointer for jumping to the END step
when the CJ (FNC 00) instruction is executed.
Note that a program error will occur when P63 is
programmed as a label.
→ Refer to "5. Label unnecessary for the
pointer P63" in Section 8.1.

When X001 turns ON, the PLC jumps to a label

and executes the subsequent program.

When X001 turns ON, the PLC executes a
subroutine in the label position specified by
CALL (FNC 01) instruction, and then returns to
the original position by SRET (FNC 02)
instruction.
