ASIN function

Arcsine of x. ASIN (x) returns the arcsine of x (operand one) in the range -pi/2 to pi/2 radians. When x is less than -1 or greater than 1, ASIN returns a zero value and BAD status.

Syntax:

'external reference' := ASIN(Real value);

Example:

VAR
   T63; T64; T17; T18; (* Temporary values *)
END_VAR;
T63 := .5;
T64 := -.5;
T17 := ASIN(T63);
T18 := ASIN(T64);

The above example shows T63 set to the value of .5 and T64 set to the value of -.5. T17 is set to the result of ASIN(T63), which is 0.5235987755983 and T18 is set to the result of ASIN(T64), which is -0.5235987755983.
