automation virtual analog output
Automation comparators have two inputs that are denoted "+" and "–". Each input is
assigned to a FlexAnalog value or an analog constant. There are six types of comparators
in automation logic, as follows:
• Greater than (>)
• Less than (<)
• Equal to (=)
• Not equal to (≠)
• Greater than or equal to (≥)
• Less than or equal to (≤)
The output of the comparator is logic 1 if the inputs satisfy the condition of the particular
comparator. Otherwise, the output is logic 0. The comparator output can be used as an
input to Boolean logic or be assigned to an automation virtual output (AVO).
The following automation logic uses the greater than or equal to and the less than or equal
to comparators to test that a value is within a specified range.
Figure 409: Using comparators to verify a value is within a specified range
The following automation logic uses the less than comparator to check if two values are
approximately equal.
