1. What are Programmable Language use in PLC?

Ladder Diagram (LD) A ladder diagram is usually called a “Ladder Logic”, this represents a program by
a graphical diagram.
Function Block Diagram (FBD) is another PLC programming language that is a popular one and looks
like a graphical type like a Ladder Diagram (LD)
Structured Text (ST)The ST or STX is the short abbreviation of Structured Text, one of the PLC
programming languages. It is a high-level programming language is like a ‘C’ or ‘Pascal’.
Instruction List (IL) is one of the PLC programming languages which is like an assembly programming
language. You will find the series of instruction lists in this language.
Sequential Function Chart (SFC) is also a graphical programming language that is similar to a flow
chart like logic.

2. What is Ladder Diagram? Give at least 1 basic example of Ladder Diagram

Ladder diagrams are a sort of electrical language and symbology widely used to show how
electromechanical switches and relays are coupled (also known as "ladder logic"). The "rails" are the two
vertical lines that connect to the opposing poles of a power source, typically one that outputs 120 volts
AC.

3. What is Electrical Wiring Diagram?


Electrical Wiring Diagram is a wiring plan a schematic that demonstrates the electrical and logical
operation of a circuit. It does this by using connecting lines to show the electrical continuity of a circuit
and symbols to denote the components. It is frequently applied to troubleshooting.

Switch
Disconnects the current when open. We're showing a simple SPST (single-pole single-throw) toggle
switch, but there are variations for SPDT, pushbutton, dip, relay, and more. For a complete list of switch
symbols, check out Smart Draw’s electrical symbol library.

Fuse
A fuse protects electrical circuits by stopping the flow of current when the intensity of current exceeds a
set value. It does this by melting a special wire.

Inductor
An inductor is also called a coil or reactor. The coils store energy in a magnetic field or flux. An inductor
symbol looks like a series of looped coils.
