Greater Than or Equal To – This comparison is made using the Get, Les
and Equ instructions. The Get value is assigned a reference value. The Les
and Equ values are changing values that are compared to the Get value
(Figure 6.9). When the Les and Equ values are greater than or equal to the
Get value, the comparison is true and logic continuity is established.

NOTE: Only one Get instruction is required for this parallel comparison.
The Les and Equ instructions are programmed on parallel branches.

The Get Byte and Limit Test instructions are used together to compare
an octal value to upper and lower limits that are also octal values. These
values can range from 000

.

The Get Byte and Limit Test instructions are programmed in the condition
area of the ladder diagram rung. Together, they form a single condition for
