Floating-point Math Instructions Section 3-15
1. This section of the program converts the data from BCD to floating-point.
a) The data area from D00200 onwards is used as a work area.
b) First BIN(023) is used to temporarily convert the BCD data to binary
data, and then FLT(452) is used to convert the binary data to floating-
point data.
c) The value of x that has been converted to floating-point data is output
to D00203 and D00202.
d) The value of y that has been converted to floating-point data is output
to D00205 and D00204.
2. In order to find the distance r, Floating-point Math Instructions are used to
calculate the square root of x
2
+y
2
. The result is then output to D00213 and
D00212 as floating-point data.
3. In order to find the angle
θ, Floating-point Math Instructions are used to
calculate tan
–1
(y/x). ATAN(465) outputs the result in radians, so DEG(459)
is used to convert to degrees. The result is then output to D00219 and
D00218 as floating-point data.
4. The data is converted back from floating-point to BCD.
a) First FIX(450) is used to temporarily convert the floating-point data to
binary data, and then BCD(024) is used to convert the binary data to
BCD data.
b) The distance r is output to D00100.
c) The angle
θ is output to D00101.
3-15-1 FLOATING TO 16-BIT: FIX(450)
Purpose Converts a 32-bit floating-point value to 16-bit signed binary data and places
the result in the specified result word.
