Description
You can use the "Multiply" instruction to multiply the value at input IN1 with the value at input IN2 and query the total at output OUT (OUT := IN1*IN2).
In its initial state the instruction box contains at least 2 inputs (IN1 and IN2). The number of inputs can be extended. The inserted inputs are numbered in ascending order in the box. When the instruction is executed, the values of all available input parameters are multiplied. The product is stored at the OUT output.
The enable output ENO has the signal state "0" if one of the following conditions applies:
-
Enable input EN has the signal state "0".
-
The result is outside the range permitted for the data type specified at output OUT.
-
A floating-point number has an invalid value.

Example
The following example shows how the instruction works:
If the "TagIn" operand has signal state "1", the instruction is executed. The value of operand "Tag_Value1" is multiplied with the value of operand "Tag_Value2". The result of the multiplication is stored in the operand "Tag_Result". If the instruction is executed without errors, the enable output ENO has the signal state "1" and the "TagOut" output is set.
