RUNG 0000

Latching rung to operate the system through Master Start and Stop switch..Lamp should be turned on when start is pressed.

RUNG 0001 to RUNG 0006

when start is turned on/off memories are latched to store the status of Start switch

RUNG 0007

Conditions are wired in series and parallel to make the condition possible.

Conclusion:

The above explained Light turn ON/OFF control using PLC is for example only. It may vary from real time. We can use this example program to understand the working of memories and Latching in AB PLC.
