MUL
Multiply
To add an enable input and enable output to the instruction, select [With EN/ENO] from the
"Instructions" pane (LD, FBD or IL editor). To reuse an instruction select "Recently used" from the
context menu or press <Ctrl>+<Shift>+<v> in the programming window.
PLC types Availability of MUL (see page 1335)
 All operands must be of the same data type.
 This function can be expanded to a maximum of 28 input contacts.
 Modifying elements
 The number of steps may vary depending on the PLC and parameters
used, see also Table of Code Intensive Instructions in the online help.
Data type I/O Function
INT, DINT, REAL 1st input multiplicand
INT, DINT, REAL 2nd input multiplicator
INT, DINT, REAL output as input result
In this example the input variables (multiplicand, multiplicator and enable) have been declared.
Instead, you may enter constants directly into the function (enable input e.g. for tests).
Description
MUL multiplies the values of the input variables with each other and writes the result into the output
variable.
Data types
Example
In this example, the same POU header is used for all programming languages. For an example
using IL (instruction list), please refer to the online help.
POU header
All input and output variables which are required for programming the function are declared in the
POU header.
Body
If enable is set (TRUE), the multiplicant is multiplied with the multiplicator. The result will be
written into result.
