root

 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 Nth root of the input.

Inputs

Input	Data Type	Range	Unit	Default	Description
IN	REAL				Real value.
N	DINT				Root level.

Outputs

Output	Data Type	Range	Unit	Description
Q	REAL			Result: Nth root of IN.

Remarks

None

FBD Language

FFLD Language Example

• In the FFLD "Free Form Ladder Diagram" 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.
  • The function is executed only if EN is TRUE.
  • ENO keeps the same value as EN.

IL Language Example

• In the IL "Instruction List" This is a low-level language and resembles assembly Language, the input must be loaded in the current result before calling the function.

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
     ROOT  N
     ST "Structured text"
A high-level language that is block structured and syntactically resembles Pascal    Q    (* Q is: ROOT (IN) *)

ST Language Example

Q := ROOT (IN, N);
