2) Structures of XGK Instructions.

The basic structure of XGK Instructions is ‘Prefix + Basic Instruction + Suffix’ structure.

① Basic Instruction: Basic Instruction operates 1 word (16 bits) data and its data type is signed

decimal. In some cases, such as MUL (multiplication), although the data size of operand is 1

word data, the result may be 2 words data. And with 1 instruction, more than 2 results may be

created. For example, DIV instruction creates 2 results, the quotient and the remainder, and the

result is stored in 1 word data memory area, respectively.

② Prefix: Prefix mainly designates the size or data type of operands. Available characters for

prefix are D (Double word), R (32-bit Floating), L (64-bit Floating), $ (String), B (bit) and G

(Group). Available number of prefix for a basic instruction is 1.

③ Suffix: Suffix designates the size, data type of operands and condition of execution. Available

characters for suffix are 4(Nibble: 4 bits data size), 8(Byte: 8 bits data size), B(BCD data type),

P(Edge trigger) and U(Unsigned decimal type). And more than 1 suffices are avail for a basic

instruction.

DADDUP D00000 D00002 D00010 => D ADD U P D00000 D00002 D00010

Add Double words of which data are Unsigned integer value at the rising edge of execution

condition.

D: Prefix designating the data size as double word.

ADD: Basic Instruction for addition.

U: Suffix designating the data type as Unsigned decimal.

P: Suffix designating execution condition of rising edge trigger. (Execute 1 time at the rising

edge of execution condition.)

Using suffix P is equal to using the condition with Positive Transition Contact. And it is

recommended that avoiding simultaneous use of Positive Transition Contact and suffix P.

3) Numeric data.

The basic type of Numeric data is Signed Decimal. And the data type of Unsigned Decimal is

designated by the suffix of instruction (U). If hexadecimal type is necessary, ‘h’ should be added at

the head of numeric data.

① Add the data of D00100 and signed decimal 1000 and store the result in D00200.

② Add the data of D00100 and hexadecimal 1000 and store the result in D00200.

③ Add the data of D00100 and unsigned decimal 60000 and store the result in D00200.
