I am new to using floating point registers w/ Alen Bradley products and I seem to be having some trouble getting the output I desire.
Can someone tell me what the registers should look like if I use the DIV function to divide 3 by 2 and put the output in F8;0?
According to the IEEE standard there should be something in both F8:0 & F8:1 resgisters which are 16 bits long each. I expect to see the binary out put for 1.5 according to the IEEE standard or 1.5 if I select decimal for the radix. All I see is 1 if I select decimal for the radix or a 1 in the first bit of F8:0 if I select Binary as a Radix.
Am I mis-understanding something about floating point registers and/or am I making this too dificult?
