Illustrate FFL operation, part 1

- [Instructor] For the ladder logic program, I will use two toggle switches to achieve the false the true transition, for the instructions. I'm choosing the numbers randomly to load them into the file. If you want to practice, you can certainly choose any other numbers. First, to input number two, using a thumbwheel, the load switch is activated. Now the FIFO load instruction loads the data from the source to the FIFO stack, starting from N7:0. You can see, I have demonstrated the numbers in both binary and decimal. Now the next value to input is four, the load switch needs to be opened and closed again for the false to true transition, the same process happens and you see that the position now points to one. Meaning that the next available position to load the data is now position one N7:1. The same process continues for the next word into the FIFO file until reaching the number of the file length.
