slc 5/03 program upgrade to micrologix 1500 "DDV" to "?"

[rockhound1966 0]

I am upgrading several old SLC systems to Micrologix controllers. I have ran across an instrustion in a SLC 5/03 program that is not supported in the micrologix system and have never seen used anywhere else. it is the "DDV" double divide function. Help in RSL 500 states that it divides the contents of the math register (s:13 and s:14), containing 32 bits of data, by the source and stores results. Is there a alternative to this in the 1500 or how should this be handled? I am confused on this. Thanks for any help on the subject.

Do you need the resolution that decimal places give you? If not then just use the "DIV" instruction. Or use floating point data types.
