3. Updates the output bit string Q to match the new content of mask string M
4. Sets the bit number output (BN) to the number of the miscompared bit.
5. Stops the comparison.
Example
In the example, after first scan the Masked Compare Word function executes. It compares
%M0001–16 with %M0017–32. %M0033–48 contain the mask. The value in %R0001
determines the bit position in the two input strings where the comparison starts.

In this example, contact %T1 and coil %M100 force one and only one execution;
otherwise the function would repeat with possibly unexpected results.
10.1.11 Bit Operation Functions Bit Position
The Bit Position function locates a bit set to 1 in a bit string.
Each sweep that power is received, the function scans the bit string starting at IN. When
the function stops scanning, either a bit equal to 1 has been found or the entire length of
the string has been scanned.
POS is set to the position within the bit string of the first non-zero bit; POS is set to zero
if no non-zero bit is found.
A string length of 1 to 256 words can be selected. The function passes power flow to the
right whenever enable is ON.
