Data Initialization
The Data Initialization (DATA_INIT) function copies a block of
constant data to a reference range.
When the DATA_INIT instruction is first programmed, the constants
are initialized to zeroes. To specify the constant data to copy, double-
click the DATA_INIT instruction in the LD editor.
Note:
The mnemonics DATA_INIT_ASCII (refer to
) and DATA_INIT_COMM (refer to
Communications Request) operate differently from the other
six functions.
Mnemonics:
DATA_INIT_DWORD
DATA_INIT_DWORD
DATA_INIT_INT
DATA_INIT_UINT
DATA_INIT_REAL
DATA_INIT_LREAL
DATA_INIT_WORD
When DATA_INIT receives power flow, it copies the constant data to output Q. DATA_INIT's constant
data length (LEN) specifies how much constant data of the function type is copied to consecutive
reference addresses starting at output Q. DATA_INIT passes power to the right whenever it receives
power.
Notes:
▪
The output parameter is not included in coil checking.
▪
If you replace one DATA_INIT instruction (except DATA_INIT_ASCII or DATA_INIT_COMM) with
another (except DATA_INIT_ASCII or DATA_INIT_COMM), Logic Developer - PLC attempts to keep
the same data. For example, configuring a DATA_INIT_INT with eight rows and then replacing the
instruction with a DATA_INIT_DINT would keep the data for the eight rows. Some precision may
be lost when replacing a DATA_INIT_ instruction, and a warning message will be displayed when
this case is detected.
Operands
Note:
For each mnemonic, use the corresponding data type for the Q operand. For example,
DATA_INIT_DINT requires Q to be a DINT variable.
Parameter Description
Allowed Operands
Optional
Length
The quantity (default 1) of constant data copied
to consecutive reference addresses starting at
output Q.
Constants
No
Q
The beginning address of the area to which the
data is copied.
All, except %S. SA, SB, and SC are not
allowed for REAL, LREAL, INT, and UINT
versions.
No
Example
On the first scan (as restricted by the #FST_SCN system
variable), 100 words of initial data are copied to %R00005
through %R00104.
