Short summary

Name	`FLOOR`
→POU type	→function
Category	IEC-block, ConvertEnh
Conform to →IEC-standard	not defined in IEC-standard
Graphical interface
Available since	version 1.27.0 (for logi.CAD 3) version 3.1.0 (for library `Standard`) – For inputs of data type `REAL`, the optimized `float` variant of the C-runtime is used. Compared to previous versions , it is possible that (marginal) other results are returned within the threshold range of the block.

Functionality

The block returns the result of a rounding down operation:

The floating-point number connected to input IN is rounded downwards to the largest previous integer.

Compare: "CEIL block", "ROUND-Baustein"

Inputs, return value

	Identifier	→Data type	Description
Inputs:	`IN`	`REAL`, `LREAL` (corresponds to →generic data type `ANY_REAL`)	value to round
Return value:	–	`REAL`, `LREAL` (corresponds to →generic data type `ANY_REAL`)

Input EN and output ENO are available when →calling the block. See "Execution control: EN, ENO" for information on input EN and output ENO.
