10 PLC Math Instructions
Objectives • Program the add instruction in the PLC ladder logic diagram. • Program the subtract instruction in the PLC ladder logic diagram. • Program the multiply instruction in the PLC ladder logic diagram. • Program the divide instruction in the PLC ladder logic diagram.
Addition • Add (ADD) instructionhas three operands: • Two operands hold source data (Source A and Source B), which are added together. • Either both sources can be registers or one source can be a register while the other one is a number. • Third operand is the destination.
Addition (Cont.) • Add instruction for Allen-Bradley SLC 500 series PLC displayed in block format.
Subtraction • Subtract (SUB) instruction has three operands: • Two operands, Source A and Source B, hold the source data. • Content of Source B is subtracted from Source A. • Result is placed in the destination.
Subtraction (Cont.) • Subtract instruction for the Allen-Bradley SLC 500 series PLC displayed in block format.
Multiplication • Multiply (MUL) instruction has three operands: • Two operands hold the source data (Source A and Source B). • Either both sources can be registers, or one source can be a register while the other one is a number. • Destination must be a register.
Multiplication (Cont.) • Multiply instructions in SLC 500 series PLCs displayed in block format.
Division • Divide (DIV) instruction has three registers: • Two registers hold the source data (Source A and Source B). • Either both sources can be registers or one source can be a register while the other one is a number. • Destination must be a register.
Division (Cont.) • Divide instructions in SLC 500 series PLCs displayed in block format.
Advanced Math Instructions • Advanced math instructions are used to perform mathematical computations.
Advanced Math Instructions (Cont.) • Compute (CPT) instruction may be used to solve mathematical equations.
Advanced Math Instructions Example • Given the following equation, you can use the CPT instruction to solve it. Y = (A × (ln B) × eC) + (tan D)
Advanced Math Instructions Example (Cont.) • First assign floating point register locations for the parameters in the equation. • Note that integer registers such as N7:0 hold integer numbers. • Floating point registers such as F8:0 hold a real number that has both integer and fractional part.
Advanced Math Instructions Example (Cont.) • Assigned registers are: A = F8:0 B = F8:1 C = F8:2 D = F8:3 Y = F8:4
Advanced Math Instructions Example (Cont.) • Normally open contact I:1/0 is closed, equation in CPT instruction block calculated. • Result is placed in floating point register four (F8:4).
