    The document discusses different programmable language used in PLCs. It states that ladder diagram (LD) uses graphical diagrams to represent programs and function block diagram (FBD) looks similar to LD. Structured text (ST) is like C or Pascal programming languages. Instruction list (IL) is like assembly language using instruction lists. Sequential function chart (SFC) is a graphical language similar to a flow chart. Ladder diagrams show how electromechanical switches and relays are connected using vertical rails to represent power sources. Electrical wiring diagrams use connecting lines and symbols to demonstrate the electrical and logical operation of a circuit, often used for troubleshooting.

    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.
