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