Structured Text
This instruction is not available in structured text.
TIP:
Use the operator AND (or &) in an expression to compute the same result. Refer to Structured Text Syntax for more information on the syntax of expressions and assignments within structured text.
Operands
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.

Source B | SINT INT DINT REAL | SINT INT DINT LINT USINT UINT UDINT ULINT REAL LREAL | immediate tag | Value to AND with Source A. Tip: Float inputs are converted to integer which may cause an overflow. |
Dest | SINT INT DINT REAL | SINT INT DINT LINT USINT UINT UDINT ULINT REAL LREAL | tag | Tag to store result of the instruction. Tip: If the destination type is Float, the resultant value will be converted to Float. |
TIP:
When integer promotion is required for the inputs, the smaller type is converted to the larger type using zero extension.
