EXPT is used to perform the exponentiation operation with In as the base 
number and Pwr as the exponent. The result is output to Out.

  Function Explanation 
  EXPT is used to perform the exponentiation operation with In as the base number and Pwr as the 
exponent. And the result is output to Out. 
  Users can choose different data types for the input parameter in this instruction. But the data type 
of the output parameter is restricted to LREAL. An error will occur during the compiling of the 
software if the data type of the output parameter is not LREAL. 
  Precautions for Correct Use 
  The input variable is not allowed to omit. An error will occur during the compiling of the software if 
the input variable is omitted. But the output variable is allowed to omit.
