Operation
7.9 MC, MCR
Outline
When MC instruction is executed, the bus line (LD or LDI point) is moved to a position after MC contact.
The bus line can be returned to the original position by MCR instruction.
By changing a device (Y or M) number, MC instruction can be used as many times as necessary.
If a same device number is used twice, however, it results in the double coil operation in the same way as OUT
instruction.
1. Instruction format
→ For the number of steps of MC instruction, refer to Section 7.15.

S: Except special auxiliary relays (M)
Explanation of function and operation
1. MC and MCR instructions (denotes the start of a master control block and denotes the end of a
master control block)
When MC instruction is executed, the bus line is moved to a position after MC contact.
Drive instructions connected to the bus line after the MC contact execute each operation only when the MC instruction
is executed, and execute each operation in the contact OFF status without regard to the contact status before drive
instructions when a MC instruction is not executed. If an instruction (such as FOR/NEXT, EI and DI instruction) not
requiring a contact instruction exists in a circuit using master control, such an instruction is executed without regard to
the MC instruction execution command.
In the program example below, the instructions from MC to MCR are executed as they are while the input X000 is ON.
However, while the input X000 is OFF, each driven device offers the following operation:
Timers (except retentive type timers) and devices driven by OUT instruction: Turn OFF.
Retentive type timers, counters and devices driven by SET/RST instruction: Hold the current status.
The expressions of circuit programs used to explain operations are circuits (for reading or monitoring) of GX
Developer.
