Divide Instruction in Ladder Logic

When rung condition is true, this output instruction divides Source A by Source B and stores the result in the destination and the math register. The value stored in the destination is rounded. The value stored in the math register consists of the unrounded quotient (placed in the most significant word) and the remainder (placed in the least significant word)

Example

Equation: N:64 = N7:60 / 2 (13 / 2 = 6.5 )

Notice the result in N7:64 is rounded up to 7).

Ladder Logic Solution

Source A = N7:60 = 13, Source B = 2, Destination = N7:64 = 7, Notice the result in N7:64 is rounded up to 7).

Math Register: The value stored in the math register consists of the unrounded quotient placed in the most significant word (6) and the remainder placed in the least significant (1)

Example

Equation: F8:62 = f8:50 / F8:61 ( 100.0 / 0.26 = 384.6154). The result is rounded to the closest value.

Ladder Logic Solution

Source A = F8:60 = 100.00 , Source B = F8:61 = 0.26, Destination = F8:62 = 3846154

Example

Equation: N7:63 = N7:62 / F8:63 (100 / 0.9 = 111.111)

Ladder Logic Solution

Source A = N7:62 = 100 , Source B = F8:63 = 0.9 , Destination = N7:63 = 111 (Rounded)

Notice that since N7:63 are an integer it will only hold the quotient part.

Note

• Division by zero (0) will generate a minor fault. S:5/0 must be cleared to prevent a major fault.
