Part III FP Instructions
F351_FMIN
Minimum value search in real number data table (floating point data)
Input s1 specifies the starting area of the data table, and s2 specifies the end. The minimum value
is returned at output min and its position at output pos.
The address of the minimum value at output pos is relative to the beginning address in the data
table as specified at input s1.
If more than one minimum value is found, the first one found beginning from the starting address
specified at s1 is stored in d.
This instruction also exists as a P instruction (for FP2/2SH, FP3/5, FP10/10SH PLC types), which
is only executed at the rising edge of the EN trigger. Select [Insert P instruction] from the
"Instructions" pane if you require a P instruction. To facilitate reuse, the instruction then appears
under "Recently used" in the pop-up menu. Press <Ctrl>+<Shift>+<v> within the programming
area to open the list of recently used elements.
