Allen-Bradley Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Questions and Answers

Suppose we have an Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1000 controller connected to three process switches as shown in this illustration:

AB PLC Temperature Switch

Determine the necessary switch actuation statuses (i.e. low versus high process stimulus) to turn the yellow lamp on, given the following program running in the PLC:

Next, determine the necessary switch actuation statuses (i.e. low versus high process stimulus) to turn the blue lamp on, given the same PLC program.

Answer:
