Math Instructions
The RAD instruction converts the Source (in degrees) to radians and
stores the result in the Destination.
The following formula applies:
Source *
Π
/180
where
Π
= 3.141592
Enter the following parameters when programming this instruction:
•
Source is the address to compute the radians.
•
Destination is the address to store the radians of the Source.
Address Levels for the operands involved in the RAD can be ALL word,
ALL double word, ALL float, or a combination. These operands shall
undergo a conversion to float. The calculation of the source (in float) is
then performed, and the result is then cast to the data type of Destination.
Instruction Operation
When the rung is true, this instruction shall convert the Source (in
degrees) in radians and place the result in Destination.
If the Destination is floating point, the result shall always be rounded
using the round to even rule.
