Dear all,

can anyboday help me please?
I'm trying to do a operatiobn like x^y.

How can I handle that in ST?

I've tried EXPT(x, y), but without of success.

Thank you, Wolfgang

When I export EXPT(x,y) I get Errors when compiling.
When I remove EXPT, eb´verything is fine - seems cpp does not know "EXPT"?

It only works when I write pow(x,y) in cpp.

Hi,

I just wrote a simple test FB where I used two input ars of type lreal and one outputvar of type lreal and EXPT the two inputs on the output and it worked without issues. Would you have an algorithm or an EXPT line for me that reproduces the issue. Maybe there is a bug in the code generator.

Thanks,
Alois

Hi Alois,
in my case the FB has several inputs, which were used to calculate a formula.
Inputs:
A, B, C - type Float
Output:
D - type Float
This should happen for example:
EXPT( ( (A+B) * C ), 0.8 ) = D

Visual C++ says:
error C2825: "T": Muss eine Klasse oder ein Namespace sein, wenn gefolgt von "::".

Hi,

thanks for this info this helped me to sort the problem out. As this affects several of the functions I created a bug report for it [1]. A first fix for the EXPT is already committed to FORTE's git repository. So if you clone it and switch to the 1.8.x branch your FB should now compile.

BR,
Alois
