Symbol: 
S
:
Source value  Double word 
D
:
Arctangent value  Double word 
Explanation:   
1.  Arctangent value=tan
-1
 
2.  The relation between tangent values and arctangent values are shown below. 
 
3.  If the conversion result is 0, SM600 is ON. 
Example:   
When X0.0 is ON, the arctangent of the floating-point number in (D1, D0) is stored in (D11, D10). 
The arctangent value in (D11, D10) is converted into the degree, and the conversion result is stored 
in (D21, D20). The degree in (D21, D20) is converted into the integer, and the conversion result is 
stored in (D31, D30). The integer in (D31, D30) is converted into the binary-coded decimal value, 
and the conversion result is stored in Y0.15~Y0.0.
