EQ

Equal to

The content of the accumulator is compared with the operand defined in the operand field. If both values are equal, "TRUE" is stored in the accumulator, otherwise "FALSE".

Parameters

Input

Unnamed input (ANY): 1st input: value for comparison
Unnamed input (ANY): 2nd input: reference value

Output

Unnamed output (BOOL): Result, TRUE if value for comparison is equal to the reference value

Remarks

Inputs can be of any data type; all input variables must be of the same data type though. Output must be of type BOOL.
This function can be expanded to a maximum of 28 input contacts, see also modifying elements.
When using more inputs, the first input is compared with the second, the second input is compared with the third input etc. If the first value is equal to the second value AND the second value is equal to the third value etc., TRUE will be written into result, otherwise FALSE.

Example

POU header

All input and output variables used for programming this function have been declared in the POU header. The same POU header is used for all programming languages.

	VAR
		enable: BOOL:=FALSE;
		comparison_value: INT:=0;
		reference_value: INT:=0;
		result: BOOL:=FALSE;
	END_VAR

In this example the input variables (comparison_value, reference_value and enable) have been declared. Instead, you may enter constants directly into the function (enable input e.g. for tests).

POU body

If enable is set to TRUE, the variable comparison_value is compared with the variable reference_value. If the values of the two variables are identical, the value TRUE will be written into result, otherwise FALSE.
