FFLD Language Example

The input rung is the IN0 input.
- The output rung (ENO) keeps the same value as the input rung.
ENO keeps the same value as EN.

IL Language Example

In the IL Instruction list - This is a low-level language and resembles assembly. Language, the input must be loaded in the current result before calling the function.

Op1: LD Ladder diagram - This is a method of drawing electrical logic schematics. It is a very popular graphical language for programming Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). It was originally invented to describe logic made from relays. The name is based on the observation that programs in this language resemble ladders, with two vertical rails and a series of horizontal rungs between them.    IN0
