ASIN

Function Name

ASIN

Description

Converts a REAL or LREAL input into an arc sine (inverse sine). The arc sine value is the output and is also a REAL or LREAL.

Arguments

Input 1 {REAL or LREAL}. This value has to be between 0 and 1.

For more information on the data types for the inputs and outputs, see Data Type Hierarchy.

Returns

Output {REAL or LREAL}. This value is in radians.

Example:

Function Block Diagram - ASIN:

In this example, the input of 0.431 is provided by the CurrentValueFormatted property of a point. The ASIN function converts the value into an arc sine value of 0.445600699078308 and this is used as the output.

ST Program - ASIN:

The syntax for an ASIN function in an ST Program is:

  • Output := ASIN (Input 1);

Where Output and Input 1 are defined as variables earlier in the ST program. The Input 1 variable represents a REAL or LREAL type of value (the output is the same type of value as Input 1).
