Operands:
Relay Ladder
Structured Text
Structured text does not have an OTU instruction, but you can achieve the same
results by using an IF...THEN construct and an assignment.
IF BOOL_expression THEN
data_bit := 0;
END_IF;
See Function Block Attributes
for information on the syntax of constructs,
expressions, and assignments within structured text.
Description: When enabled, the OTU instruction clears the data bit. When disabled, the
OTU instruction does not change the status of the data bit.
Arithmetic Status Flags: Not affected
Fault Conditions: None
