4.4 Analog I/O Unit (FP0R-A21/A42)
4-25
4.4.2 Reading of Analog Input Values (For A42)
The analog input unit uses the most significant 2 bits as a flag for switching channels and
reads conversion data sequentially.

 Role of conversion data switching flag
• The analog I/O unit (FP0R-A42) reads the analog input data of a maximum of 4 channels
using two memory areas (WX2 and WX3). The most significant two bits are allocated as a
conversion data switching flag for distinguishing channels.
• Conversion data of even numbered channels can be read as 16-bit data as they are.
• As conversion data of odd numbered channels contain the conversion data switching flag of
most significant two bits, mask processing needs to be applied to the data with a user
program. Plus conversion data should be masked by "00", and minus conversion data
should be masked by "11". Create a program in reference to the following programs.
(Example): For reading data of CH3
