Degrees (DEG)
This table lists the controllers and applications that support this instruction.
Architecture | Standard applications | Safety applications |
|---|---|---|
CompactLogix 5370, ControlLogix 5570, Compact GuardLogix 5370, and GuardLogix 5570 controllers | Yes | No |
CompactLogix 5380, CompactLogix 5480, ControlLogix 5580, Compact GuardLogix 5380, and GuardLogix 5580 controllers | Yes | Yes |
When enabled, the DEG instruction converts the Source (in radians) to degrees and stores the result in the Destination.

IMPORTANT:
Unexpected operation may occur if:
- Output tag operands are overwritten.
- Members of a structure operand are overwritten.
- Except when specified, structure operands are shared by multiple instructions.
There are data conversion rules for mixing numeric data types within an instruction. See Data conversions.
