Briefing
Your first PLC program. When SWITCH is ON, LIGHT turns ON. When SWITCH is OFF, LIGHT turns OFF. That's it — one rung. A contact reads an input. A coil writes an output. When the contact is true, energy flows right to the coil and the output energises.
Objectives
- When SWITCH is true, LIGHT turns on
- When SWITCH is false, LIGHT turns off
Hints
- Place a normally-open (NO) contact for SWITCH on the left of the rung.
- Place an output coil for LIGHT on the right of the rung.
