Operands:
S
: Source device
D
: Operation result
Explanations:
1. Range of
S
: ≥ 0
2. See the specifications of each model for their range of use.
3. Flags: M1020 (zero flag); M1067 (operation error)
4. This instruction performs a square root operation on the content in the register designated by
S
and stores the
result in the register designated by
D
. The square root operation is performed in floating point system.
5. If
S
is an designated constant K or H, the instruction will convert the constant into a binary floating point value
before the operation.
6. If the result of the operation = 0, the zero flag M1020 = On.
7.
S
can only be a positive value. Performing any square root operation on a negative value will result in an
“operation error” and this instruction will not be executed. M1067 and M1068 will be On and D1067 will record
the error code H’0E1B.
Program Example 1:
When M0 = On, calculate the square root of the binary floating point (D1, D0) and store the result in register (D11,
D10).

Program Example 2:
When M2 = On, calculate the square root of K1,234 (automatically converted into binary floating point) and store the
result in register (D11, D10).
