MAXR - Maximum Value Across a Range of Values

This instruction can only be used in the Expression parameter of the Calculate Expression (MATH) instruction.

The Maximum Value Across a Range of Values (MAXR) instruction determines the maximum value in the specified range of variable locations. This function has two parameters separated by a comma as follows:

The first parameter designates the first location in the range of values. This can be any readable bit data-block location or readable numeric data-block location.
 

The second parameter specifies the number of successive locations that are in the range. Note that this value is a count value, it does NOT specify the ending location. This can be any constant value from 1 to 65535, or, any regular math expression - for example (D3 - D1), or any readable numeric location.

Note: If the second parameter (Range) is 0, the result will be -214748368 and ST132 (Argument Out of Range) will be ON.

Note: If the second parameter (Range) exceeds the size of the data block, the result will be the maximum value in the range up to the last variable in the block and ST132 (Argument Out of Range) will be ON. For example, assume the block of WX locations has a range of WX0 to WX255. The result of MAXR(WX250, 10) would be the maximum value in the range of WX250 through WX255, and ST132 (Argument Out of Range) will be ON.
