Greater Than

Greater Than is a fundamental ladder logic element or instruction used to implement control logic in PLC programs. Comparison contact true when first value is greater than second value. This instruction type enables programmers to create specific control behaviors, implement timing functions, or manage data within ladder logic programs. Understanding and properly utilizing Greater Than is essential for developing effective ladder logic programs that meet application requirements.

The implementation of Greater Than follows established conventions and best practices for ladder logic programming. Programmers must consider scan time impacts, proper placement within ladder rungs, and interaction with other instructions when using Greater Than. Common applications include sequential control, state machine implementation, and process interlocking. Effective use of Greater Than contributes to clear, maintainable ladder logic programs that can be easily understood and modified by maintenance personnel.
