15.9 FNC 78 – FROM / Read From A Special Function Block
Acceptance of interrupts while FROM/TO instruction is executed (M8028)
1. While M8028 is OFF
While a FROM/TO instruction is being executed, interrupts are automatically disabled. Input interrupts and timer
interrupts are not executed.
Interrupts generated during the execution of FROM/TO instructions are immediately executed after the FROM/TO
instruction completes.
FROM/TO instructions can be used in interrupt programs.
2. While M8028 is ON
When an interrupt is generated during the execution of a FROM/TO instruction, the FROM/TO operation is
momentarily paused while the interrupt program executes. FROM/TO instructions cannot be used in interrupt
programs.
Action against watchdog timer error
1. Cause of watchdog timer error
A watchdog timer error may occur in the following cases:
1) When many special extension equipment is connected
When many special extension equipment (such as positioning units, cam switches, link units and analog units) are
connected, considerable time may be required to initialize buffer memories when the PLC mode is set to RUN, the
operation time may be long, and a watchdog timer error may occur.
2) When many FROM/TO instructions are driven at the same time
When many FROM/TO instructions are driven at the same time or when many buffer memories are transferred,
the operation time may be long, and a watchdog timer error may occur.
2. Countermeasures
1) Using RBFM (FNC278) or WBFM (FNC279) instruction [Ver.2.20 or later]
→ For divided BFM read [RBFM (FNC278) instruction], refer to Section 31.1.
→ For divided BFM write [WBFM (FNC279) instruction], refer to Section 31.2.
2) Changing the watchdog timer time
By overwriting the contents of D8000 (watchdog timer time), the watchdog timer detection time can be changed.
When the program shown below is input, the sequence program after the input will be monitored with the new
watchdog timer time.
3) Changing FROM/TO instruction execution timing
Shift FROM/TO instruction execution timing to make the operation time shorter.
Handling of special extension units/blocks
For the special extension unit/block connection method, number of connectable special extension units/blocks and
handling of I/O numbers, refer to the manuals of the PLC and each special extension unit/block.
