CCST question
CCST answer
We use ladder logic to program programmable logic controllers (PLCs), where a series of
complex logic checks are required before something is turned on. Ladder logic is useful
for simple but critical control systems or for reworking old hardwired relay circuits. As
PLCs became more sophisticated, it has also been used in very complex automation
systems.
The rules are typically executed sequentially by software in a loop. The best answer is A.
