Micromod Micro-DCI: 53MC5000 Multi-Loop Process Controller CUSTOMIZATION GUIDE - Manual (Page 15)

The following data transformations are allowable and may be used as required in programs. These
operators are often required in computations involving mixed data types.
To expand a data type:
B__% converts to C__ type data
B__% % converts to H__ type data
C__% converts to H__ type data
L__%% converts to C__ type data
L__%%% converts to H__ type data
L__% converts to B__ type data
To contract a data type:
C__$ converts to B__ type data
H__$ converts to C__ type data
H__$ $ converts to B__ type data
H__$ $ $ converts to L__ type data
C__$ $ converts to L__ type data
B__$ converts to L__ type data
V (base 2 logarithm) Operator
The V operator will remove a C data value from the stack, compute the base 2 log and
place that value back on the stack.
NOTE: Since the V operator uses additional stack memory to perform
the calculation, the stack must not contain more than one C value when
the operator is issued.
To change a log base
The log base can be changed as follows:
Log 10 X = 0.30103 Log 2 X
Log e X = 0.69315 Log 2 X
M (2
X
) Operator
The M operator will remove a C data value from the stack and use it as the exponent
to compute 2
X
(e.g., if C01 is 3, then 2
C01
= 8).
NOTE: As the M operator uses additional stack memory to perform the
calculation, the stack must not contain more than one C value when the
M operator is issued.
P (Y
X
) Operator
Example Statement: C00 = C01 C02 P ;
In the example C01 = Y, and C02 the exponent. The P operator will remove C01 and C02 from the
stack and compute Y
X
(i.e., C01
C02
). The computed value is then returned to the stack.
NOTE: As the P operator uses additional stack memory to perform the
calculation, the stack must not contain more than two C values when
the P operator is issued.
