CPT

Evaluate expression

Libraries:

Description

The CPT block implements the CPT ladder logic instruction. When the rung conditions are true, the block evaluates the expression Expr and outputs the result to the destination (dest).

Limitations

• The CPT ladder diagram instruction does not support direct operand calls. Currently MOD, AND, XOR, FTD, and TOD instructions are unsupported as CPT operands.

Ports

Input

EnableIn — Enable Input

off (default) | on

Controls the execution of the block. EnableIn reflects the rung state preceding the block. If the rung state preceding the block is false, EnableIn is false, the block does not execute and the outputs are not updated.

Output

EnableOut — Enable Output

off (default) | on

By default, EnableOut follows the state of EnableIn. If the EnableIn input to the block is false, the logic implemented by the block is not executed and EnableOut signal is set to false.

dest — Output Signal

scalar

The result obtained after computing the expression is placed at the destination.

Data Types: int8 | int16 | int32 | single

Parameters

Expression to Evaluate — Expression to evaluate

'Expr' (default) | character vector

Specify the expression to be evaluated. An expression consisting of tags and/or immediate values separated by operators. In Ladder Diagrams, tags (variables) are used to represent inputs, outputs, and internal memory with attributes such as Data Type, Initial Value, and size. To change the attributes of the Expression to Evaluate, open the Program Variables table within the Ladder Diagram Program block.
