Hybrid PLC Mechatronics - Chapter 2 Ladder Basics

Before discussing or understanding the PLC, one must first understand the devices the PLC was invented to replace. That was the ladder diagram and the devices represented in the ladder diagram. The ladder diagram (or electrical schematic or elementary diagram) is discussed and labs demonstrate circuits that are capable of being built from relays.
