Ladder Logic Programming Consists Primarily of

Ladder logic programming for PLCs consists of virtual relay contacts and coils connected by logic gate symbols. The scan time refers to the amount of time it takes for one "rung" of ladder logic to complete. The difference between online and offline PLC programming is whether the PLC is running or stopped during editing. A retentive PLC function defaults to the "off" state and is not reset after a power cycle. The largest number a 16-bit PLC counter can reach is 65,535. An OR function in ladder logic uses normally-open contacts in parallel. A good use of a timed interrupt is for a motor start/stop function.
