Binary Logic

The »Binary Logic« logic element executes Boolean comparisons of the input values (IN 1–…). The number of inputs can be set.

Inputs and Outputs

Inputs

• GATE (see Logic Elements | Datapoint-Gate)

• IN1 ...
  Only inputs with an incoming connection will be included in the comparison.

Outputs

• OUT

Configuration

Every incoming value triggers a new comparison. One valid input value is enough to start a comparison.

All inputs with an incoming connection will be used. If a connected input should have no value, it will be assumed to be Boolean false. This is also the case if the input has a value that cannot directly be interpreted as a boolean value (e.g. the string "LOGIKEDITOR" would cause that input to be seen as set to false).

The following comparison options are possible:

• AND
  All inputs must be true.

• NAND
  The opposite of AND.
  If AND results in a false, this condition is met. 

• OR
  At least one input must be true. 

• NOR
  The opposite of OR.
  If OR results in a false, this condition is met. 

• XOR
  For exclusive OR, the first two input signals in each case will be compared to one another; if both have the same value, this is a false; otherwise, this is a true. The result of the first two is then compared to the next input signal etc. The result of the entire chain is applicable. 

• NXOR
  The opposite of XOR. If XOR results in a false, this condition is met. 

The result of the comparison is sent on the output (true/ false).
