How to do PLC Programming using Ladder Logic

Ladder logic programming is a popular programming language in the automation industry. It is a powerful way to program because it is easy to use and has many features that can be used for common tasks. It is specialized for the needs of automation engineers, and it’s been around for a long time. It has a graphical interface where one can make a ladder diagram with rungs connected by lines. Each rung represents an action, and the line represents the order in which they are executed. The ladder diagram will have three parts: input terminals at the top, output terminals at the bottom, and logic between them which define what happens when you press a button on your remote control or turn on your washing machine's start button.

A ladder diagram is a visual programming language that is widely used in industrial electrical control systems. It consists of symbols that represent various components, such as the programmable electrical switch, relay, timer, and counter. The components are connected with lines to form a schematic diagram that represents the logic of an electrical control system.

Ladder logic diagrams are a sequence of symbols with two different types of lines. There are open circuits which are the lines that extend beyond the end of the box. These represent input or output functions. And then there are closed circuits that end at the end of the box, these represent internal functions that don't affect an external circuit. There are three different types of ladder logic diagrams: Sequential circuit, Feedback circuit, and Simultaneous Circuit. The Sequential Circuit has outputs feeding back to their corresponding inputs in a consecutive order. The Feedback Circuit has outputs feeding back to their corresponding inputs at some point after they have been used as an input to generate an output for one stage in the process.

Instructions in Ladder Logic are written in a language called Ladder Logic.
Instructions in Ladder Logic are written in a language called Ladder Logic. To write an instruction, first identify the input and the output of the instruction. Inputs can be ladder rungs or text values from a programming tool such as Microsoft Excel. Outputs can be ladder rungs or text values from a programming tool such as Microsoft Excel. For example, if you wanted to add two numbers together and output the result, you would have an input for each number and an output for where to put the result. The first thing you do is scan the logic diagram from left to right, looking for any inputs that share a common connector.

Ladder logic is a programming language, as such it is structured as a set of input and output commands which are executed in sequence.
Inputs: Inputs are the values that ladder logic uses to determine the next step.
Outputs: Outputs are what ladder logic produces as its result.
