Block that calculates the arccosine of Value, storing the result in Angle.

Block Structure

 

Variable Type

Name

Data Type

Description

VAR_INPUT

EN

BOOL

Block enabling

Value

REAL

Value of cosine

VAR_OUTPUT

Done

BOOL

End of operation

Angle

REAL

Value of the angle whose cosine is equal to Value (in radians)

 

Operation

 

When this block has a TRUE value in EN, it sends to the Angle output the arccosine of Value. If no errors, the Done variable is set. If there is any error in the operation, Done is not set, staying in FALSE status, while Angle remains with its value unchanged.

 

When EN has FALSE value, Angle remains unchanged and Done remains in FALSE.

Example in Ladder

 

ACOS_example01

 

The above example calculates the arc, in radians, whose cosine is the VALUE variable, storing the final result in ANGLE. The block ends with success and Done output is activated.

 

ACOS_example02

 

The above example calculates the arc, in radians, whose cosine is the VALUE variable, storing the final result in ANGLE. The block generates a runtime error, since VALUE has value inferior to -1, and Done output is disabled.

 

Example in ST

 

 The example below displays the instructions for applying the example above in the ST language.

 

 

VAR

   VALUE : REAL := 0.0;

   ANGLE : REAL;

END_VAR

 

ANGLE := FB_ACOS(EN:=DI1, Value:=VALUE, Done=>DO1);
