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 or equal to Source B. Set Rung-condition-out to true else Clear Rung-condition-out to false. |
String compare: See GE String Compare Flow Chart. If output is false Clear Rung-condition-out to false else Set Rung-condition-out to true | |
