Ladder Logic Diagram or LLD (sometimes referred to as LD as well), is one of the basic standard PLC programming languages. It is a graphical language originated from the RelayLogic Diagrams.

Normally open/closed push buttons and normal/negated contacts

In this video, you will learn the differences between the normally open and normally closed push buttons and between normal (examine if closed) and negated(examine if open) contacts in the ladder logic program.

Self-holding or Seal-in circuit in Ladder logic

In this video, you will learn the idea of self-holding or Seal-in circuits in Ladder logic. This is a way to keep the output devices energized after pressing and releasing a momentary push button.

‍

Using SR and RS function blocks in Ladder logic

In this video, you will learn how to insert the RS and SR function blocks into the Ladder logic program, how they operate and what is the difference between the two.

Set/Reset or Latch/Unlatch instructions inLadder logic

In this video, you will learn how the Set/Reset or Latch/Unlatch coil instructions can be used in Ladder logic.

Using TON (timer on-delay) function blocks in Ladder Logic

In this video, you will see how to use a TON (on-delay timer) function block in CODESYS, with Ladder Logic Diagram as the programming language.

TON or on-delay timers are used to create a delay after they receive a True pulse at their input. The TON function block has two inputs and two outputs. The inputs are EN (enable) and PT (Preset time), and the outputs are Q (the main boolean output) and EL (Elapsed time). As soon as the EN input has a False to True transition, the timing starts and when PT time has passed the Q output becomes true and remains true. Whenever the EN input becomes False, the Q output becomes False, immediately.

Using (CTUD) up/down counter function block

In this video, you will see how to insert an up/down counter into the ladder logic program and how to provide the inputs and observe the outputs of the function block.

‍

Using TP (pulse timer) function block

In this video, you will see how to use a TP (pulse timer) function block in CODESYS.

‍

TOF (timer off-delay) function block in Ladder logic

In this video, you will see how to use the TOF (off-delay timer) function block in CODESYS.

Combining TON (On-delay timers) to create flashing signal (square wave)

In this video, you will learn how to combine the TON (on-delay timers) witheach other to generate a flashing signal (square wave).
