Editing the Operation
See the editing Get, Less Than, Equal To, and branching instructions.
The Get Byte instruction addresses either the upper or lower byte of a data
table word. A 1 is entered after the word address for the upper byte; a 0 is
entered for the lower byte.
The Get Byte instruction accesses 1 byte (instead of word) from one
address in the data table. The data is displayed in octal format.
The Get Byte instruction can be programmed with a Limit Test
instruction located in the condition area of the ladder diagram rung.
Do not place compare instructions between the Get Byte and
Limit Test instructions.
Use with a Put instruction to transfer either the upper or lower byte to
the upper or lower byte of the Put instruction address.

The Get Byte instruction can be programmed either at the beginning of the

instructions, however, should not be programmed after a Get Byte
instruction. When one or more condition instructions precede the Get Byte
instruction, they determine whether the rung is true or false.
