Short summary

Name	`AND`
→POU type	→function
Category	IEC-block, Bitstring
Conform to →IEC-standard	no restrictions
Graphical interface
Available since	version 1.0.0 (for logi.CAD 3)

Functionality

The block returns the result of a bitwise AND operation of all values connected to the inputs of ANY_BIT.

Compare: "IAND block" for AND operation for values of ANY_INT.

Inputs, return value

	Identifier	→Data type	Description
Inputs:	`IN1`	`BOOL`, `BYTE`, `WORD`, `DWORD` or `LWORD`(corresponds to →generic data type `ANY_BIT`)	1st value
	`IN2`	`BOOL`, `BYTE`, `WORD`, `DWORD` or `LWORD`(corresponds to →generic data type `ANY_BIT`)	2nd value
	... (extensible until)
	`IN16`	`BOOL`, `BYTE`, `WORD`, `DWORD` or `LWORD`(corresponds to →generic data type `ANY_BIT`)	16th value
Return value:	–	`BOOL`, `BYTE`, `WORD`, `DWORD` or `LWORD`(corresponds to →generic data type `ANY_BIT`)

Input EN and output ENO are available when →calling the block. See "Execution control: EN, ENO" for information on input EN and output ENO.

See:

"Blocks for safe logic" whether this block is supported for developing safety-relevant applications.
"Highlighting safe logic in the FBD-editor" for the effects when using the block as a block for safe logic .

Observe that the AND block is a special variant of the blocks for safe logic. See "Blocks for safe logic" for details on this special variant.

Example for usage within ST-editor

PROGRAM Test
    VAR
        resultB1, resultB2, resultB3, resultB4 : BOOL;
        resultW1, resultW2, resultW3, resultW4 : WORD;
    END_VAR
 
    resultB1 := AND(IN1 := FALSE, IN2 := FALSE);       (* The variable 'resultB1' evaluates to 'FALSE'. *)
    resultB2 := AND(IN1 := FALSE, IN2 := TRUE );       (* The variable 'resultB2' evaluates to 'FALSE'. *)
    resultB3 := AND(IN1 := TRUE,  IN2 := FALSE);       (* The variable 'resultB3' evaluates to 'FALSE'. *)
    resultB4 := AND(IN1 := TRUE,  IN2 := TRUE );       (* The variable 'resultB4' evaluates to 'TRUE'.  *)
    
    resultW1 := AND(IN1 := 16#0001, IN2 := 16#0001);   (* The variable 'resultW1' evaluates to '16#0001'. *)
    resultW2 := AND(IN1 := 16#0001, IN2 := 16#0002);   (* The variable 'resultW2' evaluates to '16#0000'. *)
    resultW3 := AND(IN1 := 16#0003, IN2 := 16#0009);   (* The variable 'resultW3' evaluates to '16#0001'. *)
    resultW4 := AND(IN1 := 16#0002, IN2 := 16#0002);   (* The variable 'resultW4' evaluates to '16#0002'. *)
