Part II IEC Instructions
ROL
Rotate N bits to the left
To add an enable input and enable output to the instruction, select [With EN/ENO] from the
"Instructions" pane (LD, FBD or IL editor). To reuse an instruction select "Recently used" from the
context menu or press <Ctrl>+<Shift>+<v> in the programming window.

Data type I/O Function
1st input input value
2nd input number of bits by which the input value is rotated to the left
ANY_BIT
output as input result

Description
ROL rotates a defined number (N) of bits to the left.
Data types
Example
In this example, the same POU header is used for all programming languages. For an example
using IL (instruction list), please refer to the online help.
POU header
All input and output variables used for programming this function have been declared in the POU
header.
This example uses variables. You can also use a constant for the input variable.
Body
The last N bits (here 4) of source_register are left-rotated. The result will be written in
target_register.
