Short summary

Name	`COS`
→POU type	→function
Category	IEC-block, Numeric
Conform to →IEC-standard	no restrictions
Graphical interface
Available since	version 1.17.0 (for logi.CAD 3) version 3.1.0 (for library `Standard`) – For inputs of data type `REAL`, the optimized `float` variant of the C-runtime is used. Compared to previous versions , it is possible that (marginal) other results are returned within the threshold range of the block.

Functionality

The trigonometric function cosine is called: The block returns the cosine of the value connected to the inpu t . The cosine value is returned in radians.

Inputs, return value

	Identifier	→Data type	Description
Inputs:	`IN`	`REAL`, `LREAL` (corresponds to →generic data type `ANY_REAL`)	input in radians
Return value:	–	`REAL`, `LREAL` (corresponds to →generic data type `ANY_REAL`)

Input EN and output ENO are available when →calling the block. See "Execution control: EN, ENO" for information on input EN and output ENO.

See:

"Blocks for safe logic" whether this block is supported for developing safety-relevant applications.
"Highlighting safe logic in the FBD-editor" for the effects when using the block as a block for safe logic .

Example for usage within ST-editor

PROGRAM Test
   VAR
      result : REAL;
   END_VAR
   result := COS(IN := 1000.0);    (* The variable 'result' evaluates to '0.562379'. *)
END_PROGRAM
