Program Plan Intro

Math instruction:

  • Math instructions refer to all output instructions that uses the data of two words or registers and perform the desired function.
  • Math instructions are program based on the type of processor used.
  • The data manipulation instructions are almost similar to math instructions.
  • The math instruction allows the PLC to take more of conventional computer qualities.
  • Math instructions are normally used to perform arithmetic functions on the values stored in memory words or registers.

Math functions:

The basic math functions performed by PLCs are as follows:

  • Addition
    • This function is used to add one piece of data to another.
    • It is also called as ADD.
  • Subtraction
    • This function is used to subtract one piece of data from another.
    • It is also called as SUB.
  • Multiplication
    • This function is used to multiply one piece of data by another.
    • It is also called as MUL.
  • Division
    • This function is used to divide one piece of data from another.
    • It is also called as DIV.

Terms used:

The following terms are used in the instruction.

  • Source A
    • Source A refers to the address of the first piece of data that is used in the instruction.
  • Source B:
    • Source B refers to the address of the second piece of data that is used in the instruction.
  • Destination
    • Destination refers to the address where the results of the instruction are stored.

Scenario You work for a small company that exports artisan chocolate. Although you measure your products in kilograms, you often get orders in both pounds and ounces. You have decided that rather than have to look up conversions all the time, you could use Python code to take inputs to make conversions between the different units of measurement. You will write three blocks of code. The first will convert kilograms to pounds and ounces. The second will convert pounds to kilograms and ounces. The third will convert ounces to kilograms and pounds. The conversions are as follows: 1 kilogram = 35.274 ounces 1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds 1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms 1 pound = 16 ounces 1 ounce = 0.0283 kilograms 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds For the purposes of this activity the template for a function has been provided. You have not yet covered functions in the course, but they are a way of reusing code. Like a Python script, a function can have zero or more parameters. In the code window you…
