FBD Language Example

FFLD Language Example

In the FFLD "Free Form Ladder Diagram" Language, the operation is executed only if the input rung (EN) is TRUE.
- The output rung (ENO) keeps the same value as the input rung.

IL Language Example

In the IL "Instruction List" This is a low-level language and resembles assembly Language, the first input must be loaded before the function call.

Op1: LD "Ladder diagram"
Ladder logic is a method of drawing electrical logic schematics. It is now 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  IN

     ST  Q    (* Q is: ACOS (IN) *)

ST Language Example

Q := ACOS (IN);
