Modulo (MOD)
This information applies to the CompactLogix 5370, ControlLogix 5570, Compact GuardLogix 5370, GuardLogix 5570, Compact GuardLogix 5380, CompactLogix 5380, CompactLogix 5480, ControlLogix 5580, and GuardLogix 5580 controllers. Controller differences are noted where applicable.
When enabled, the MOD instruction and the operator divides Source A by Source B and places the remainder in Dest. This is done using the algorithm:
Dest = Source A – (truncate ( Source A / Source B) * Source B)

Structured Text
This instruction is not available in structured text.
TIP:
Use MOD as an operator in an expression to compute the same result. Refer to Structured Text Syntax for more information on the syntax of expressions and assignments within structured text.
Operands
IMPORTANT:
Unexpected operation may occur if:
- Output tag operands are overwritten.
- Members of a structure operand are overwritten.
- Except when specified, structure operands are shared by multiple instructions.
There are data conversion rules for mixing numeric data types within an instruction. See Data Conversions.
