Handling of numeric values in floating point operations
Handling of numeric values in floating point operations
Binary integers are handled inside PLCs.
During division of integers, the answer "40
Binary integers are handled inside PLCs.
During division of integers, the answer "40
÷ 3 = 13 ... 1" is obtained, for example.
During square root extraction operations, decimal points are ignored.

PLCs, floating point operations are available to achieve higher accuracy in
such operations.
Binary floating point (real number)
When handling a binary floating point (real number) in data registers, use a pair of data registers having consecutive
device numbers.
When D11 and D10 are used, for example, a binary floating point is handled as shown below:
device numbers.
When D11 and D10 are used, for example, a binary floating point is handled as shown below:

The sign bit b31 states whether data is positive or negative, but is not handled as a complement.
Number of significant figures
The number of significant figures of binary floating point is approximately 7 when expressed in decimal. The binary
floating point range is as follows:
The number of significant figures of binary floating point is approximately 7 when expressed in decimal. The binary
floating point range is as follows:
- Least absolute value: 1175494

Handling of the zero (M8020), borrow (M8021) and carry (M8022) flags
These flags operate as follows in floating point operations.
These flags operate as follows in floating point operations.
- Zero flag
: 1 when the result is 0
- Borrow flag : 1 when the result does not reach the minimum unit but is not 0
- Carry flag
- Carry flag
: 1 when the absolute value of the result exceeds the available numeric value range.
Monitoring of binary floating point (real number)
A programming software supporting the display of floating point such as GX Works2 and GX Developer can directly
monitor binary floating point (real number).
A programming tool not supporting the display of floating point can monitor binary floating point (real number) when it
is converted into scientific notation (real number).
