NOTE: This function does not check for bit register overflow. You can assign any
variables you wish, but mixing variable sizes – for example, a 32-bit input and an
8-bit output – may result in unusable output.

C.3.2 Subtract (SUB)

When used in a Ladder Diagram, the SUB block subtracts one input from another
and sends the result to output.

Select the

tool (from the

Math Blocks

toolbar) and click on a ladder rung to

insert the following block:

Once the block is inserted, you can double-click on it to

configure

it.

Functional Description

This block always passes the Enable input state (EN) through to the Enable Out
output state (ENO) without change; when EN becomes on, ENO is turned on, and
when EN becomes off, ENO is turned off.

When EN becomes on, the block function is executed: the Input Value 2 (IN2) is
subtracted from the Input Value 1 (IN1) and the result is placed in the Output
Value (OUT).
