18.9 FNC121 – ESUB / Floating Point Subtraction
Outline
This instruction executes subtraction of two binary floating point data.
→ For program examples of floating point operations, refer to Section 12.10.
→ For handling of floating point, refer to Subsection 5.1.3.
→ For flag operations, refer to Subsection 6.5.2.
1. Instruction format
2. Set data
*1. When a constant (K or H) is specified, it is automatically converted into binary floating point (real number)
when the instruction is executed.
3. Applicable devices
S: This function is supported only in FX3U/FX3UC PLCs.
Explanation of function and operation
1. 32-bit operation (DESUB and DESUBP)
Binary floating point data [ +1, ] is subtracted from binary floating point data [ +1, ], and the
subtraction result in the binary floating point format is transferred to [ +1, ].
When a constant (K or H) is specified as [ +1, ] or [ +1, ], it is automatically converted into
binary floating point.
Caution
1. When a same device is specified
A same device number can be specified in [ +1, ],[ +1, ] and [ +1, ].
In this case, note that the subtraction result changes in every operation cycle when the continuous operation type
instruction (DESUB) is used.
