Comparison Instructions
Relational operators exist in virtually all programming languages. Matlab if a <= b c=1.25 end C if (a <= b) c=1.25; Ladder Logic Comparison Instructions EQU LEQ NEQ GRT LES GEQ MEQ equal less than or equal not equal greater than less than greater than or equal masked compare for equal

Comparison Instructions - Syntax

Ladder Logic Comparison Instructions EQU LEQ NEQ GRT LES GEQ MEQ equal less than or equal not equal greater than less than greater than or equal masked compare for equal All of these instructions are used as inputs on a ladder rung to control rung outputs.

EQU Source A Source B if A = B then ____

Syntax
(Continued) LEQ Source A Source B if A <= B then _____ GRT Source A Source B if A > B then ______ Source Mask Compare

Masked Equal Instruction

MEQ Source Mask Compare The MEQ instruction permits a 16 bit word to be compared to another 16 bit word. A mask or filter can be set up to include/eliminate bits from the comparison. 1001001110011101 0000010000111000 0000010000001000

NEQ Source A Source B if A ~= B then ______

GEQ Source A Source B if A >= B then ______

if all of the bits in the source for which the mask is high (1) equals the bits in the compare then ________

Logical Instructions
The PLC logical instructions are output functions that are performed only if the rung logic is true. AND OR XOR NOT logical AND logical OR logical XOR logical NOT

Syntax
AND Source A Source B Dest Source A, Source B, and Dest are addresses where the information is stored.

If the rung logic is true, perform the logic operation Source A * Source B, and put the result in Dest(ination). Source A: 1 Source B: 1 Dest: 1 Source A: 1 Source B: 0 Dest: 0 Source A: 0 Source B: 0 Dest: 0

Syntax
(Continued) OR Source A Source B Dest NOT Source Dest

Data Movement Instructions

The data movement instructions are output instructions that are executed only if the rung logic is true. MOV MVM Move what is at one address to another address. (bit wise move) Move what is at one address to another address subject to a mask. (whole word move)

Math instructions are output instructions that are executed only if the rung logic is true. Simple Math Instructions ADD SUB MUL DIV More Complex Math Instructions DDV NEG CLR TOD FRD DCD

Simple Math Instruction Syntax

ADD Source A Source B Dest Add Source A to Source B and put the result in Dest

SUB Source A Source B Dest

Subtract Source B from Source A and put the result in Dest

(Continued) MUL Source A Source B Dest Multiply Source A and Source B and put the result in Dest

Assignment
1. Show an example of how you could use the LEQ and GEQ instructions together to turn on memory bit B3/7 if the counter C5:6, ACC value was between 5 and 12. 2. Show an example of how you would turn on memory bit B3/4 only when the timer T4:10,ACC value was 24 and input I:0.1/2 was on. 3. Show how your would move the counter C8:5, ACCUM value to location N7:25 whenever B3/18 is on. 4. Show a rung that would turn on bit B3/19 if counter C5:3s value is under 15 and timer T4:13 is below 25.

DIV Source A Source B Dest

Divide Source A by Source B and put the result in Dest
