...if comparing two binary numbers, do I need to convert them to hex before the compare? I 've searched this and other forums that said it isn't needed, but the manual states that... "The Comparative Boolean provides evaluation of two 4-digit values using boolean contacts " (DL205 User Manual, Ch 5) I have binary inputs from a 14TFM module and Hi-Lo set-points in binary from a C-More HMI.

    No. If they are in Binary format, they are already Hexadecimal. Aside from that all it matters is that the two numbers are in the same format and are single word integers.
