Explanation of function and operation
1. 16-bit operation (RND and RNDP)
This instruction generates a pseudo-random number within the range from 0 to 32767, and stores it as a
random number to
.
In the pseudo-random number sequence, the source value of a random number is calculated at every time,
and this instruction calculates a pseudo-random number using the source value.
Pseudo-random number calculation equation:
(D8311, D8310) = (D8311, D8310) *
1
× 1103 12345.....(1)
= “([D8311, D8310]>>16)&<logical product>00007FFFh”
*1.
To (D8311, D8310), write a non-negative value (0 to 2,147,483,647) only once when the PLC mode
switches from STOP to RUN.
[K1 is written to (D8311, D8310) as the initial value when the power is restored.]
