• Comparing two specified time data
These instructions compare the time data in the device specified by (s1) with the time data in the device specified by (s2) in accordance with the 
conditions set by (s3). (Devices are used as a normally open contact.)
• Comparing specified time data with current time data
These instructions compare the time data in the device specified by (s1) with the current time data in accordance with the conditions set by (s3). 
(Devices are used as a normally open contact.) The time data in the device specified by (s2) is regarded as dummy data and ignored.
