14.10 FNC 69 – SORT / SORT Tabulated Data
• The data table configuration is explained in an example in which the sorting source data table has 3 lines and 4
columns (m1 = K3, m2 = K4). For the sorting result data table, understand as .
• When the command input turns ON, data sorting is started. Data sorting is completed after "m1" scans, and the
instruction execution complete flag M8029 is set to ON.
→ For the instruction execution complete flag use method, refer to Subsection 6.5.2.
2. Operation examples
When the instruction is executed with "n = K2 (column No. 2)" and "n = K3 (column No. 3) for the following sorting
source data, the operations shown below are acquired.
It is recommended to put a serial number such as a control number in the first column so that the original line number
can be estimated based on the contents.
