The state of a reference may be different from the state of the ladder logic element. This difference will be explained in the description of each element. All ladder logic elements assume a reference state of FALSE when not assigned a reference. The Ladder Logic language is configured on a 32 x 32 grid of cells called a sheet. In this language, configuration elements are connected together to perform a specific task. The group of connected elements is called a Ladder Logic Network. An example a network is shown in Figure 2-1. The elements permitted in this type of network include: C C C C C C C Ladder Logic Elements (e.g. contacts, coils and shunts) Standard Function Blocks (SFB) Derived Function Blocks (DFB) User Defined Function Blocks (UFDB) Structured Text (ST) statements (However, no selection or iteration statements are permitted) Comments Variables

LINK ELEMENTS
4.1 HORIZONTAL LINK ELEMENT (H SHUNT) A Horizontal Link Element is displayed as a horizontal line that occupies one cell.
H SHUNT A Horizontal Link Element transfers the state of the element in the cell on its left side to the element in the cell on its right side. This ladder element is not the same as the horizontal wiring element of the Function Block language. The Function Block wiring element can transfer analog and Boolean data and does not indicate state on-line, where as the ladder logic horizontal shunt only transfers Boolean data and does indicate state on-line.
4.2 VERTICAL LINK ELEMENT (V SHUNT) A Vertical Link Element is displayed as a vertical line that can connect the elements in two consecutive cells in the same column.
V SHUNT The state of the Vertical Link Element is the inclusive OR of the states of the elements on its left side and those connected to it via V Shunts above and below. For example, the state of the Vertical Link Element will be FALSE if the states of all the attached elements to its left are FALSE. The state will be TRUE if the state of any of the attached elements to its left are TRUE. The transfer of state can flow up or down, but only in the direction which enables the rung logic to continue its flow from left to right. For example, Figure 4-1 shows vertical shunts flowing upwards which allows the flow of the rung logic to go from left to right

Unlike the Horizontal Shunt, the Vertical Shunt does not always occupy a cell exclusively. If a Vertical Shunt was placed in a cell first, then another object cannot be placed in that cell. However, if another element (contact, horizontal shunt, etc.) existed in a cell, a vertical shunt can be placed there also. Refer the example in Figure 4-2.

LINK ELEMENTS
Removing a Vertical Link Element requires a special method. Do not use the [Delete] key as this will delete all cell contents, not just the Vertical Link Element. To remove only a Vertical Link Element and preserve the other contents of the cell: 1. On the ladder logic sheet, place the cursor on the cell where the Vertical Link Element is located. 2. Press the Vertical Link Element key [F4] or Select the Vertical Link Element icon with the left mouse button.

CONTACTS
5.0 CONTACTS
A contact is an element that copies a state to the element on its right side that is equal to the AND of the state of the element on its left side with the given reference. For memory usage and ACM execution time information on all standard configuration elements, see Appendix A in Using the 4-mation Configuration Software (document number CG39-20).
5.1 NORMALLY OPEN CONTACT (NOC) The symbol of a NOC is shown below. The state of the left link is copied to the right link if the state of the associated reference is TRUE. Otherwise, the state of the right link is FALSE. Refer to Table 5-1.
TABLE 5-1 State of the Normally Open Contact STATE OF THE LEFT LINK CONDUCTING NOT CONDUCTING or SATISFIED X Where X indicates any state. STATE OF REFERENCE TRUE TRUE FALSE STATE OF ELEMENT CONDUCTING SATISFIED NOT CONDUCTING
5.2 NORMALLY CLOSED CONTACT (NCC) The symbol of a NCC is shown below. The state of the left link is copied to the right link if the state of the associated reference is FALSE. Otherwise, the state of the right link is FALSE. Refer to Table 5-2.

In the example the following conditions exist: When SWITCH is TRUE and B is TRUE, LIGHT2 is TRUE and CONDUCTING When SWITCH is TRUE and B is FALSE , LIGHT1 is TRUE and CONDUCTING STATE OF REFERENCE FALSE FALSE TRUE STATE OF ELEMENT CONDUCTING SATISFIED NOT CONDUCTING
5.3 POSITIVE TRANSITION-SENSING CONTACT (PTC) The symbol of a PTC is shown below. The state of the right link is TRUE for one controller scan when a FALSE to TRUE transition of the associated reference is sensed at the same time that the state of the left link is TRUE. The state of the right link is FALSE at all other times. Refer to Table 5-3.

NOTE Since the PTC conducts for a single scan of the controller and the controller execution speed is greater than the screen update rate, the transitions of the PTC may not be visible while observing a configuration on-line.
5.4 NEGATIVE TRANSITION-SENSING CONTACT (NTC) The symbol of an NTC is shown below. The state of the right link is TRUE for one controller scan when a transition of the associated reference from TRUE to FALSE is sensed at the same time that the state of the left link is TRUE. The state of the right link is FALSE at all other times. Refer to Table 5-4.

COILS
6.0 COILS
A coil copies the state of the link on its left to the link on its right without modification. The coil also stores the state of the left link into an associated Boolean variable (e.g. reference to a Boolean input, output or other Boolean variable). For memory usage and ACM execution time information on all standard configuration elements, see Appendix A in Using the 4-mation Configuration Software (document number CG39-20).
6.1 COIL The symbol of a coil is shown below. The state of the left link is copied to the associated reference and to the right link. Refer to Table 6-1.
TABLE 6-1 State of the Coil STATE OF THE LEFT LINK CONDUCTING NOT CONDUCTING or SATISFIED STATE OF REFERENCE TRUE FALSE STATE OF ELEMENT CONDUCTING NOT CONDUCTING
6.2 SET (LATCH) COIL The symbol of a Set Coil is shown below. The associated reference is in the TRUE state when the left link is in the TRUE state. The reference, but not the coil, remains set to TRUE until reset by another coil. Refer to Table 6-2.
(S )
TABLE 6-2 State of the Set Coil STATE OF THE LEFT LINK CONDUCTING NOT CONDUCTING or SATISFIED STATE OF REFERENCE TRUE Last State STATE OF ELEMENT CONDUCTING NOT CONDUCTING
The on-line display of the (S) part of the element is based upon the state of the reference. For example, if the reference is in the TRUE state, then the (S) portion of the element will be displayed in the CONDUCTING state color (i.e. the coil is set). The example in Figure 6-1 demonstrates the functionality of

the Set Coil. When LATCH_ON is TRUE, the LATCH1 set coil, the LIGHT1 coil, the LATCH1 contact, and the LIGHT2 coil are CONDUCTING. If LATCH_ON then turns FALSE, the LATCH1 set coil and the LIGHT1 coil are NOT CONDUCTING, but since the LATCH1 reference remains TRUE, the LATCH1 contact and the LIGHT2 coil remain CONDUCTING. To reset the LATCH1 reference in this example, the reference LATCH_OFF must become TRUE.
6.3 RESET (UNLATCH) COIL The symbol of a Reset Coil is shown below. The associated reference is in the FALSE state when the left link is in the TRUE state. The reference, but not the coil, remains reset to FALSE until set by another coil. Refer to Table 6-3.
TABLE 6-3 State of the Reset Coil STATE OF THE LEFT LINK CONDUCTING NOT CONDUCTING or SATISFIED STATE OF REFERENCE FALSE Last State STATE OF ELEMENT CONDUCTING NOT CONDUCTING
The on-line display of the (R) part of the element is based upon the state of the reference. For example, if the reference is in the FALSE state then the (R) portion of the element is displayed in the CONDUCTING state color (i.e. the coil is reset).

6.6 RESET RETENTIVE (MEMORY) COIL The symbol of a Reset Retentive Coil is shown above. The associated reference is reset to FALSE when the left link is in the TRUE state. The reference remains reset to FALSE until set by another coil (S or SM). The retentive feature, which saves the current value through a warm restart, is automatically activated when a reference is assigned to this coil (the RETAIN check box found on the Variable Declaration dialog box is automatically selected). Refer to Table 6-6.

6.7 POSITIVE TRANSITION-SENSING COIL The symbol of a Positive Transition-Sensing Coil is shown below. The state of the associated reference is TRUE for one controller scan when a FALSE to TRUE transition of the left link is sensed. The state of the left link is always copied to the right link. Refer to Table 6-7.
TABLE 6-7 State of the Positive Transition-Sensing Coil STATE OF THE LEFT LINK FALSE to TRUE change NOT CONDUCTING or SATISFIED CONDUCTING, no change STATE OF REFERENCE TRUE for one scan FALSE FALSE STATE OF ELEMENT CONDUCTING NOT CONDUCTING CONDUCTING

When SWITCH changes from FALSE to TRUE, coil A, coil LIGHT1, contact A and coil LIGHT2 are all CONDUCTING. The very next scan, SWITCH remains CONDUCTING and coil A and coil LIGHT1 remain CONDUCTING. However, contact A and coil LIGHT2 are NOT CONDUCTING because the reference of a Positive Transition-Sensing Coil is TRUE for one scan only. If SWITCH becomes FALSE, then the A and LIGHT1 coils are NOT CONDUCTING.
6.8 NEGATIVE TRANSITION-SENSING COIL The symbol of a Negative Transition-Sensing Coil is shown below. The state of the associated reference is TRUE for one controller scan when a TRUE to FALSE transition of the left link is sensed. The state of the left link is always copied to the right link. Refer to Table 6-8.
TABLE 6-8 State of the Negative Transition-Sensing Coil STATE OF THE LEFT LINK TRUE to FALSE change NOT CONDUCTING or SATISFIED CONDUCTING, no change STATE OF REFERENCE TRUE for one scan FALSE FALSE STATE OF ELEMENT CONDUCTING NOT CONDUCTING CONDUCTING

When the reference variable SWITCH is TRUE, contact SWITCH, coil B, and coil LIGHT1 are CONDUCTING because the state of the left link is always copied to the right link. Contact B and LIGHT2 are NOT CONDUCTING because the reference of a Negative Transition-Sensing Coil is not TRUE unless a negative transition is sensed. When the reference SWITCH transitions from TRUE to FALSE, the B coil, LIGHT1 coil , and SWITCH contact are NOT CONDUCTING, while the B contact and LIGHT2 coil are CONDUCTING. The very next scan, the SWITCH contact, B coil and LIGHT1 coil remain NOT CONDUCTING while the B contact and LIGHT2 coil change to NOT CONDUCTING because the reference of a Negative Transition-Sensing Coil is TRUE for one scan only.
6.9 NEGATED COIL The symbol of a Negated Coil is shown below. The inverse of the left link is copied to the associated reference variable. The state of the left link is always copied to the right link. Refer to Table 6-9.
