GE

Greater than or equal to

The content of the accumulator is compared with the operand defined in the operand field. If the accumulator is greater or equal to the reference value, "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 greater than or 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.
If the first value is greater than or equal to the second value AND the second value is greater than or 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 comparison_value is compared with the reference_value. If the comparison_value is greater than or equal to the reference_value, the value TRUE will be written into result, otherwise FALSE.
