Numeric Comparison
Operand | Data Type | Format | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Source A | SINT INT DINT LINT USINT UINT UDINT ULINT REAL LREAL | immediate tag | Value to test against Source B |
Source B | SINT INT DINT LINT USINT UINT UDINT ULINT REAL LREAL | immediate tag | Value to test against Source A |
String Comparison
Operand | Data Type | Format | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Source A | String type | immediate literal value tag | String to test against Source B |

Condition/State | Action Taken |
---|---|
Prescan | N/A |
Rung-condition-in is false | Set Rung-condition-out to Rung-condition-in |
Rung-condition-in is true | Numeric compare: If Source A and Source B are not NANs and Source A is greater than Source B. Set Rung-condition-out to true else Clear Rung-condition-out to false. |
String compare: See GT String Compare Flow Chart. If output is false Clear Rung-condition-out to false else
Set Rung-condition-out to true | |
