The Mask Equal To instruction is a ladder logic rung input instruction that compares a source value to a compare value through a mask. If the adjusted source and compare values are equal the logic to the right of the instruction, or rung-condition-out, is enabled and disabled if otherwise. The Source value, Mask value and Compare value can be constants, tags or any combination.
Constant or immediate values always default to decimal display. To display the value in a different radix precede the value with one of the following prefixes.
Prefix Description Example
- 16# hexadecimal 16#FFF0
- 8# Octal 8#16
- 2# Binary 2#01010101
