Operands:
S
: Source
D
: Result
Explanations:
1. See the specifications of each model for their range of use.
2. Flags: M1020 (zero flag); M1021 (borrow flag); M1022 (carry flag)
3. This instruction converts binary floating point value in the register designated by
S
into decimal floating point
value and stores it in the register designated by
D
.
4. PLC conducts floating point operation in binary format. DEBCD instruction is exclusively for converting floating
points from binary to decimal.
5. If the absolute value of the result
＞
maximum floating point available, the carry flag M1022 = On.
6. If the absolute value of the result
＜
minimum floating point available, the borrow flag M1021 = On.
7. If the result = 0, the zero flag M1020 = On.
Program Example:
When X0 = On, the binary floating points in D1 and D0 will be converted into decimal floating points and stored in D3
and D2.
