Part III FP Instructions
F302_BTAN
BCD type Tangent operation
BCD values for input s lie in the area from 0° to 360° (16#0 to 16#360) in 1° steps. With this output
d yields a result in the range of -57.2900 to 57.2900. The result is returned as follows:
ARRAY[0] preceding sign (0 when input is +, 1 when input is -)
ARRAY[1] whole number before the decimal point as BCD value (16#0 to
16#57)
ARRAY[2] numbers after the decimal point with 4 significant figures as BCD
value (16#0000 to 16#9999)
This instruction also exists as a P instruction (for FP2/2SH, FP3/5, FP10/10SH PLC types), which
is only executed at the rising edge of the EN trigger. Select [Insert P instruction] from the
"Instructions" pane if you require a P instruction. To facilitate reuse, the instruction then appears
under "Recently used" in the pop-up menu. Press <Ctrl>+<Shift>+<v> within the programming
area to open the list of recently used elements.

the input value for s is not a BCD value
s = 90° (16#90) or 270° (16#270)
R900B %MX0.900.11 to TRUE the result is 0.
R9009 %MX0.900.9 for an instant the result causes an overflow.
Description
The function calculates the tangent of BCD code angular data (input s) and stores the result
(output d) as a BCD value in an array with three elements.
