PLC-5 Programming
The PLC-5 program is very similar to the PLC-3 program with the
following exceptions:
1. Block transfer enable bits are used instead of done bits as the
conditions on each rung.
2. Separate block transfer control files are used for the block
transfer instructions.

Thereafter, the program continuously per-
forms read block transfers.
Pushbutton
The pushbutton allows the user to
manually request a block transfer write.

Power-up Bit
At power-up in RUN mode, or when the
processor is switched from PROG to RUN,
the user program enables a block transfer
read. Then it initiates a block transfer write
to configure the module.
