31.2 FNC279 – WBFM / Divided BFM Write
31.2
FNC279 – WBFM / Divided BFM Write
Outline
This instruction writes data to continuous buffer memories (BFM) in a special function block/unit over several operation
cycles by the time division method. This instruction is convenient for writing send data, etc. to buffer memories in a
special function block/unit for communication by the time division method.
TO (FNC 79) instruction is also available for writing data to the buffer memory (BFM).
→
For TO (FNC 79) instruction, refer to Section 15.10.

Explanation of function and operation
1. 16-bit operation (WBFM)
"n1" word units from
in the PLC are written to buffer memory (BFM) location # "m2" in special function unit/
block No. "m1". While transfering, "n1" is divided by "n2" so n1/n2 words (rounded up when there is a remainder) are
transferred per scan time.
→
For the unit No., buffer memory (BFM) No., cautions, and program example,
refer to Subsection 31.1.1.
• When the instruction is finished normally, the instruction execution complete flag M8029 turns ON. When the
instruction is finished abnormally, the instruction execution abnormally complete flag M8329 turns ON.
• When the RBFM (FNC278) or WBFM (FNC279) instruction is executed in another step for the same unit number,
the instruction non-execution flag M8328 is set to ON, and execution of such an instruction is paused.
When execution of the first target instruction is complete, the paused instruction resumes.
