SWP - Swap
Swaps the low and high bytes of a specified number of words in a bit,
integer, ASCII, or string file.
Example
Swap (aBcDeF) = BaDcFe
Ladder Logic Solution
Before /After Swap
Example
The next 3 words of N7:140
Ladder Logic Solution
Before/After Swap

Note
Values of N7:140 are in Hexadecimal
Example
Let's say N7:145 contain ABCD (hexadecimal) and we want to separate high
byte and the low byte of this word and put them into 2 separate word.
Ladder Logic Solution
Execute an AND instruction on the N7: 145 with FF (Hex) this will result in
getting the low byte from N7: 145, and put it in N7: 146.
Now that we got the low byte, we have to swap the word N7:145.

Now we can do another AND instruction with FF (Hex) to get the low byte of the
swapped word, and put it in words N7: 147
N7:145 = ABCD (Hex)
N7:146 = AB
N7:147 = CD
Note
The source can only be an indexed word address.
Bit length (1-128)
Integer length (1-128)
String length (1-41) (one string only)
ASCII length (1-128)
