turn on a bit). This instruction is usually paired with an SCO (set latch) instruction, with

both instructions addressing the same bit.

remains off (regardless of the rung condition) until it is turned on, typically by an SCO

instruction in another rung.

If the rung is: Then the instruction turns the bit:

true

off

false

no change

The supported variables are:
D simple Boolean
D Boolean array element
D bitĆindexed integer or double integer
D bitĆindexed integer or double integer array
