kitControl-NumericBitOr
In value against the bit equivalent of its StatusNumeric mask slot value. It may be useful in cases where boolean information
is mapped into integer values.
NumericBitOr is available in the Util folder of the kitControl palette, along with the closely-related NumericBitAnd and NumericBitXor.
As an example, some manufacturers multiplex binary data into a single numerical point by converting the bits from hexadecimal to decimal format. To obtain the status of the individual binary data, the number must be converted back from decimal to hex format. Each digit of the hex number represents a particular binary state (0 = false, 1 = true). The NumericBitOr object converts a StatusNumeric input to a hex value, and compares it against the mask value. Any digits with a value of 1 in the mask or the input results in a corresponding value of 1 in the same digit of the output. Any value on the output slot greater than 1 indicates that at least one of the binary parameters is true.
Figure 119. NumericBitOr example
In this example:
- Input decimal 65553 converts to a hex value of 10011.
- Mask decimal 0 converts to a hex value of 00000.
- The resulting hex value is 10011.
