-
a logical operator that requires all input conditions to be
a logic 1 for the output to be logic 1.
AND
-
logical operators, such as AND, OR, NAND, NOR,
NOT and XOR, that can be used singly or in combination to form logical
statements.
Boolean operators
-
a set of symbols used to express the
control program through conventional relay symbols.
contact symbology
-
a circuit having two or more input terminals and one
output terminal, where an output is present only when the prescribed inputs are
present.
gate
-
any connected equipment, such as control
devices or peripheral devices, that supplies information to the CPU.
input device
-
a program output that does not drive a
field device and is used for internal purposes only. It provides interlocking
functions like a hardwired control relay.
internal output
-
a set of symbols and rules for representing and
communicating information between people and machines.
language
-
the use of binary logic so that logic 0
represents the voltage level normally associated with logic 1.
negative logic
-
a relay contact pair that is close when
the coil of the relay is not activated and open when the coil is activated.
N/C
-
a relay contact pair that is open when the
coil of the relay is not activated and closed when the coil is activated.
N/O
-
any connected equipment, such as control
devices or peripheral devices, that receives information or instructions from
the CPU.
output device
-
a circuit in which two or more of the
connected components or contact symbols in a letter program are connected to
the same pair of terminals so that current may flow through all branches.
parallel circuit
-
the conventional use of binary logic in
which logic 1 represents a positive logic level.
Positive logic
-
a letter program term that refers to the programmed
instructions that drive one output.
Rung
-
a circuit in which the components or
contact symbols are connected end to end.
Series circuit
-
a table that shows the state of a given output
as a function of all possible input combinations.
