1.6 Computation Function (/M1 Option)
Computation Function
Computing equations can be set up using measured values and other computed values
as variables in computation-dedicated channels, and the computation can be executed.
The computed result can be recorded. Computation is performed every scan interval.
Channels Dedicated to Computations
The computation-dedicated channels below can be used.
Model Number of Channels Channel Names
Pen model 8 0A, 0B, 0C, 0D, 0E, 0F, 0G, and 0J
Dot model 12 0A, 0B, 0C, 0D, 0E, 0F, 0G, 0J, 0K, 0M, 0N, and 0P
Types of Computations
In the table below, y represents the computed result. X and n represent the measured
value, a constant, etc.
Type Syntax in the Equation Description
Four arithmetic operation +, –,
*
, / Determines addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Power ** Determines the power. y = X
n
Square root SQR() Determines the square root.
Absolute value ABS() Determines the absolute value.
Common logarithm LOG() Determines the common logarithm. y=log
10
x
Exponent EXP() Determines the exponent. y = e
x
Relational computation .LT., .LE., .GT., .GE.,
.EQ., .NE.
Determines<,≤,>,or≥oftwoelementsandoutputs“0”or“1.”
Logical computation AND, OR, XOR, NOT Determines the AND (logical product), OR (logical sum),XOR
(exclusive logical sum) of two elements, NOT (negation) of an
element and outputs “0” or “1.”
TLOG computation TLOG.SUM(),
TLOG.MAX(),
TLOG.MIN(),
TLOG.AVE(),
TLOG.P-P()
Determines the sum (SUM), the maximum (MAX), the minimum
(MIN), the average (AVE), and the maximum – minimum (P-P)
at specified time intervals. There are three timers for setting the
interval.
Data That Can Be Used in Equations
In TLOG computation, the measured values of measurement channels or computed
values of computation channels can only be used. For all other computations, all of the
data types below can be used.
• Measured Values on Measurement Channels
Speciedbythechannelnumber.Forchannelsthathavescalingenabled,thescaled
values are used in the computation.
• Computed Values on Computation Channels
Speciedbythechannelnumber.
• Constants (K01 to K30)
The values assigned to K01 to K30 can be used as constants.
Rangeofvalues(maximumsignicantdigitsis5):
–9.9999E+29 to –1.0000E–30, 0, 1.0000E–30 to 9.9999E+29
