Ladder Logic Power Instruction

When this instruction is executed then it will calculate X to the power of Y and stores the result in the destination.

Example

Equation: N7:230 = 4 ** 3

Ladder Logic Solution

Example

Equation: F8:230 = F8:231 ** 5; where F8:231 = -5

Ladder Logic Solution

Note

• XPY uses the following algorithm: XPY = Y ** (log (X)).
• If any intermediate overflow is generated or an invalid source is detected the minor error bit will be set. This error should be cleared to avoid a major error.
