I have skip over Chapters #3 and #4 as we have covered numbering systems and logic gates in the Digital Fundamentals class. If you feel that you need some more work, just need to brushing up, or are struggling with these subject matters, I suggest that you go through these chapters.
 
In this chapter you will begin to learn to write ladder logic programs for a PLC. You will learn how each input and output terminal is identified by a unique address. You will note that the internal symbol for any input is a contact and the internal symbol for an output is a coil. Pay close attention to the XIC and XIO input contacts. You will cover the basic set of instructions that perform functions similar to relay functions. You will also learn more about the scan cycle of a PLC.
 
Reading Assignment:
Programmable Logic Controllers - Chapter #5                  Basics of PLC Programming
 
You will find a power point for the chapter in the "Handout" section of this page. Again remember that the power points are rather lengthy, so it will take extra time to download and review the material.
 
The videos posted below has further explanation of the material for this week.
 
In the "Coursework" section you will find the details to the following assignments:
Review and Problems at the end of Chapter #5 of the PLC textbook.
The instructions for completing a LogixPro software design.
Logging into the remote server and completing 2 of the Basic faults of the Troubleshooting PLC Circuits software.
