EXPT function: Use can lead to high computing time load, therefore it is better not to use this function (no change planned)

Removed from:
i950 Servo-Inverter FW:  no change planned.

behavior of the new version:
A change is not planned, or rather no improvement is possible.

 
Description of the behavior:
With unfavorable input values, the calculation of the EXPT function can take longer than one ms, which extends the program runtime accordingly. 

Background:
The calculations take place in the FloatingPointUnit (FPU) of the processor, whereby the runtime of the floating point calculations can vary over a wide rangecan vary, adepending on the input values.

Under what conditions does the behavior occur?

  • Using the EXPT function, 
  • dependent on the input values
Affected products:
i950 Servo-Inverter FW

Short-term measures / Rating/Recommendations: 
The EXPT function should better not be used.
