    This document provides an introduction to programmable logic controllers (PLCs), ladder logic, and examples of ladder logic diagrams. It defines PLCs as industrial control devices that can accept inputs and provide outputs to drive relays. Ladder logic is described as a graphical programming language used commonly with PLCs to relate logical inputs to relay outputs. Examples of ladder logic diagrams show how inputs like start and stop switches can be used to control outputs like energizing motor contactors. Time-delayed starts and stops of conveyors are demonstrated using ladder logic elements like timers and auxiliary relays.

    PLC: (Programmable Logic Controller) An industrial control device developed to accept contact closure inputs and to provide outputs that drive relay coils.
    The device may be re-programmed with code relating

    inputs to outputs Modern PLCs may allow analog input/output and may support high level language functions (C, C++, BASIC) Programming logic includes simple logic, timing functions counting functions, sequences, and may include complex algorithms (eg. PID) Examples: Allen-Bradley, Schneider-Modicon, GE, Moeller, etc.

    Ladder Logic: Graphical language for describing output of an electrical switching system as a function of its inputs.
    Also known as relay ladder logic or RLL Commonly used in PLC coding Primarily used to relate logical inputs (switch closures) to relay coil

    outputs. (Start switch used to energize a motor contactor relay) Commonly used to document control equipment in process plants Example:
