7  APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
7.8  String Processing Instructions
 • These instructions convert the digit in hexadecimal notation of the 16-bit binary data in the device specified by (s) to the 
ASCII code, and store the converted data in the device number specified by (d) and later.
 • The format of the hexadecimal ASCII data to be stored in (d) depends on the status of SM705 (Number of conversion digits 
selection).
*1 For the firmware version of the CPU module supporting SM705, refer to the following.
 MELSEC iQ-R CPU Module User's Manual (Application)
A CPU module which does not support SM705 operates in the same way as SM705 is off even if it is turned on.
■Operation overview
The following figure shows the operation when SM705 (Number of conversion digits selection) is off and on.
When the BINHA(P) instruction is executed with the 16-bit binary data "0ABCH" stored in (s)
 • When SM705 is off, the number of digits is fixed. Four digits of "0ABC" are converted into ASCII data and stored.
 • When SM705 is on, data is left-justified. "0ABC" with the leading "0" omitted ("ABC") are converted into ASCII data and 
stored, and 00H is stored in the end.
