Homework Statement


In the diagram, Y006 is a lamp, and X & R references are relay contacts. Write down a Boolean expression for the lamp to light.

Ladder logic relay diagram with contacts X001, X002, R000, X005, X003 (normally closed), R001 and output lamp Y006 between two vertical power rails.


Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


This is what I have done as an interim step to help me visualise what's going on:

Ladder logic diagram with contacts X001, X002 and R000 in parallel, feeding contacts X005 and X003 (normally closed) in a second parallel group, then R001 in series, driving lamp Y006.


This is the final answer

Boolean expression: (X001 + X002 + R000) . (X005 + NOT X003) . R001 = Y006, with the overbar on X003 denoting negation.


Is this correct?

Thanks
