Bit Instructions Overview

These instructions operate on a single bit of data. During operation, the controller
may set or reset the bit, based on the logical continuity of ladder rungs. You can
address a bit as many times as your program requires.

Note

Using the same address with multiple output instructions is not recommended.

Bit instructions are used with the following data files:

Output and input data files. These represent external outputs and inputs.

The status data file (file 2).

The bit data file (B3:). These are the internal coils used in your program.

Timer, counter, and control data files (T4:, C5:, and R6:). These instructions
use various control bits.

The integer data file (N7:). Use these addresses (at the bit level) as your
program requires.
