KEEP(11)
B
KEEP(11) is used to maintain the status of the designated bit based on two
execution conditions. These execution conditions are labeled S and R. S is
the set input; R, the reset input. KEEP(11) operates like a latching relay that
is set by S and reset by R.
When S turns ON, the designated bit will go ON and stay ON until reset, re-
gardless of whether S stays ON or goes OFF. When R turns ON, the desig-
nated bit will go OFF and stay OFF until reset, regardless of whether R stays
ON or goes OFF. The relationship between execution conditions and
KEEP(11) bit status is shown below.

Notice
that KEEP(1
1) operates like a self-maintaining bit. The following two
diagrams would function identically, though the one using KEEP(11) requires
one less instruction to program and would maintain status even in an inter-
locked program section.
