Equal To
An Equal To test condition arms the setpoint for activation when the monitored 
value exactly equals the threshold, and dis-arms the setpoint when the value no 
longer equals the threshold. Hysteresis is ignored in the Equal To test condition. 
Figure 36
 illustrates this test condition. In Figure 36, the setpoint is armed at 
point A, dis-armed at point B, and armed at point C. Point d also arms the 
setpoint but the value changes at point e before the assert delay time passes.

Setpoint Logic Gates (M6 and M8 models)
Up to 10 logic gates can be used to combine logically the setpoints to enable 
output actions. Each logic gate can have up to four inputs. Select among AND, 
NAND, OR, NOR, XOR, or XNOR logic. XOR and XNOR use inputs 1 and 
2. 
In Figure 37
, Setpoint Output 1 activates when Setpoint 1 asserts. Setpoint 
Output 2 activates when both Setpoint 1 and Setpoint 2 assert.
