SQRT / SQRTL

Function A function calculates a result according to the current value of its inputs. A function has no internal data and is not linked to declared instances. - Calculates the square root of the input.

Inputs

IN : REAL/LREAL Real value.

Outputs

Q : REAL/LREAL Result: square root of IN.

Remarks

In FFLD language, the operation is executed only if the input rung (EN) is TRUE.
- The output rung (ENO) keeps the same value as the input rung.
In the IL "Instruction list" This is a low-level language and resembles assembly language, the first input must be loaded before the function call.

ST Language

Q := SQRT (IN);

FBD Language

FFLD Language

(* The function is executed only if EN is TRUE.*)
(* ENO keeps the same value as EN. *)

Op1: LD "Ladder diagram"
Ladder logic is a method of drawing electrical logic schematics. It is now a very popular graphical language for programming Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). It was originally invented to describe logic made from relays. The name is based on the observation that programs in this language resemble ladders, with two vertical "rails" and a series of horizontal "rungs" between them  IN
