The OTL instruction sets (latches) the data bit.
Operands:

Relay Ladder

Operand
Data bit

Structured Text

Structured text does not have an OTL instruction, but you can achieve the same
results by using an IF...THEN construct and an assignment.
IF BOOL_expression THEN
data_bit := 1;
END_IF;
See Function Block Attributes
expressions, and assignments within structured text.
When enabled, the OTL instruction sets the data bit. The data bit remains set
until it is cleared, typically by an OTU instruction. When disabled, the OTL
instruction does not change the status of the data bit.
