Operands

Operand	Description
S1	The first operand. Entries are WORD data registers or constants. This is the base*. The signed value range is -32,768 ~ 32,767 (216). The unsigned value range is 0 ~ 65,535 (216-1). The Hexadecimal value range is H0000 ~ HFFFF.
S2	The second operand. Entries are WORD data registers or constants. This is the exponent. The signed value range is -32,768 ~ 32,767 (216). The unsigned value range is 0 ~ 65,535 (216-1). The Hexadecimal value range is H0000 ~ HFFFF.
D	The third operand. Entries are only DWORD data registers. This is where the power is saved.

Notice

Error Flag (F11.0) Notice

The error flag, F11.0, will be ON for one scan when the address of the data register assigned by @D exceeds the range of the data register, D. The range of the data register, D, is dependent on the CPU type.

F11.0 turns ON when the value of the data for exponentiation exceeds the data register assigned to S1 or S2.

Signed Overflow

The value range for the assigned DWORD data register, D, is -2,147,483,648 ~ 2,147,483,647 (2³²).

• If the exponentiation result is greater than 2,147,483,647, the final result will be 2,147,483,647, and the value will not overflow.
• If the exponentiation result is less than -2,147,483,648, the final result will be -2,147,483,648, and the value will not overflow.

Tip: Operand Exponentiation Format

S1 raised to the power of S2.
