Any non-zero value to a BI is interpreted as TRUE (1).
The OR operator will return TRUE is ANY of the values is TRUE.
The AND operator will return TRUE only if ALL the values are TRUE.
The XOR operator will return TRUE if there are an ODD number of TRUE inputs.
The logical not operations (NAND, NOR, NXOR) will simply return the opposite of 
what the normal function would.
And of course, the packed operators (___X) will perform the selected functions 
on a bit-by-bit basis.

As far as I know the "OR" function is a Boolean instruction and only recognizes 
a 0 or 1.  Anything other than a 1 in RI01 location will result in BO01=FALSE 
according to the conditions that you have provided.

Subject: [foxboro] Question about OR usage in CALC function block logic

Good day ladies and gents,
What happens in a CALC function block when an OR function is used with a
stack that includes a real value.  For example, what is written out to BO01
in the following case?

IN BI01;  = False
IN RI01;  = 13.0
IN BI02;  = False
IN BI03;  = False
OR;
OUT BO01 = ?

Does this produce an error?  Does the result depend on the value of RI01?

I am reverse-engineering some old I/A logic and I do not have access to a
simulator to test and see what will happen in this situation.  Can someone
please help me out?

Regards,

Quay
