Part III FP Instructions
F305_BATAN
BCD type Arctangent operation
BCD values for input s lie in the area from -9999.9999 to 9999.9999. They are entered 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#9999)
ARRAY[2] numbers after the decimal point with 4 significant figures as a 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.

R9007 %MX0.900.7 permanently
R9008 %MX0.900.8 for an instant
the input value at s is not a BCD value.
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 arctangent of a BCD value that is entered at input s as an ARRAY with
three elements. The result is returned as BCD angular data in the range 0° to 90° (16#0 to 16#90)
or 270° to 360° (16#270 to 16#360) at output d.
