Chapter 14 Trigonometric Instructions (SIN, COS, TAN, ASN, ASIN, ACS, ACOS, ATN, ATAN)
Sine (SIN)
The SIN instruction takes the sine of the Source value (in radians) and stores the
result in the Destination.
Operands:
Relay Ladder
Structured Text
Use SIN as a function. This function computes the sine of source and stores the
result in dest.
