The Get Byte instruction is programmed in the condition area of the ladder
rung. It tells the processor to make a duplicate of all 8 bits in the addressed

the data is transferred to both the upper and lower byte of the word address
of the Put instruction.

of the addressed Put instruction. Also, the data from the second get byte is
transferred into the lower byte of the addressed Put instruction.
