Figure 15.8 Calculations with a Compute Function
Math functions can result in status flags such as overflow, carry, etc. care must be taken to avoid problems such as overflows. These problems are less common when using floating point numbers. Integers are more prone to these problems because they are limited to the range from -32768 to 32767.
15.2.3 Conversions
Ladder logic conversion functions are listed in Figure 15.9. The example function will retrieve a BCD number from the D type (BCD) memory and convert it to a floating point number that will be stored in F8:2. The other function will convert from 2s compliment binary to BCD, and between radians and degrees.

Examples of the conversion functions are given in Figure 15.10. The functions load in a source value, do the conversion, and store the results. The TOD conversion to BCD could result in an overflow error.
