Expressions
Expressions are implemented in the Logix Designer application to be passed in as an operand expression to an instruction, or to specify a variable index, as a subscript expression, in an array. These sections describe the differences between the two.
The maximum length for an operand expression is 4096 characters.
Operand Expressions
Operand expressions are provided as an operand to the following instructions: CPT, FAL, FSC, and CMP. Each of these instructions documents which operators are allowed in the expression and their precedence. CPT and FAL have identical operators and precedence. CMP and FSC have a slightly expanded operator list and therefore a different precedence list of operators.
Subscript Expressions
You can also use a subscript expression to compute an array subscript. Subscripts are processed differently than operands. See the Array Index column in the table above for a list of operators that function as subscript expressions.
