do any of you know how it would apply ?
How does ladder logic apply to programable logic control
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
Ladder logic is a graphical programming language used in programmable logic controllers (PLCs), particularly in Allen-Bradley (AB) or Rockwell systems. It resembles traditional relay logic diagrams, making it straightforward to troubleshoot. Each symbol in ladder logic indicates its status, allowing operators to easily identify conditions necessary for process continuity. While structured text and function block programming are alternatives, they are generally considered less user-friendly for troubleshooting purposes.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of programmable logic controllers (PLCs)
- Familiarity with ladder logic programming
- Knowledge of Allen-Bradley (AB) or Rockwell systems
- Basic concepts of relay logic
- Explore advanced ladder logic programming techniques
- Learn about troubleshooting methods specific to PLCs
- Investigate structured text programming in PLCs
- Study function block programming and its applications
Control engineers, automation technicians, and anyone involved in programming or troubleshooting PLC systems will benefit from this discussion.

The PLC program is sometimes represented by "ladder logic". It looks similar to an old relay logic print and is simple to troubleshoot.
Each symbol highlights when true so it is obvious what is required for the process to continue...
This is AB or Rockwell
Structured text and Function block programming are also commonly used but are not as easy to troubleshoot IMHO.
