7 Comparison Macros
Numerical values often need to be compared in PLC programs; typical examples are a batch counter saying the required number of items has been delivered, or alarm circuits indicating, for example, a temperature has gone above some safety level. These comparisons are performed by elements that have the generalized form of Figure 7.1, with two numerical inputs A and B corresponding to the values to be compared, and a Boolean (on/off) output that is true if the specified condition is met. The comparisons provided in this chapter are as follows:
A greater than B |
(A > B) |
A greater than or equal to B |
(A > = B) |
A equal to B |
(A = B) |
A less than B |
(A < B) |
A less than or equal to B |
(A < = B) |
A not equal to B |
(A <> ... |
