Normally Open Pushbutton

 A discrete input also referred
as digital input is an input Normally Closed Pushbutton
that is either ON or OFF are
connected to the PLC digital Normally Open switch
input.
 In the ON condition it is Normally Closed switch
referred to as logic 1 or a
logic high and in the OFF
Normally Open contact
condition maybe referred to
as logic 0 or logic low.
Normally closed contact

 Analog Input
An analog input is an input signal that has a continuous signal. Typical inputs
may vary from 0 to 20mA, 4 to 20mA or 0 to10V.

Ex: A level transmitter monitors the level of liquid in the tank.
