5.3 Real Number (E)
The real number (E) is a device used to specify real numbers in sequence programs.
In sequence programs, specify it as E (example: E1.234). ( Page 497, Appendix 4.4)

(b) When an overflow or underflow has occurred
The following table shows the operation of the CPU module when an overflow or underflow has occurred
during arithmetic operation.
(c) When a special value
*1
is input
If operation is performed with input data that contains a special value, "OPERATION ERROR" (error code:
4140) occurs.
*1 The special values are -0, unnormalized numbers, nonnumeric characters, and ± .
(2) Specification method
Real numbers can be specified in sequence programs by the following expressions.
• Normal expression ••• A numeric value can be specified as it is.
10.2345 can be specified as E10.2345.
• Exponential expression ••• A numeric value is specified by (Value)
× 10
n
.
1234 is specified as E1.234 + 3.
*1
*1 + 3 represents 10
3
in E1.234 + 3.
Overflow Underflow
OPERATION ERROR (error code: 4141) Turned to 0 without any error
