ow do programmable logic controllers scan a program?

What will be an ideal response?


It scans from top to bottom and from left to right. The computer scans the program one line at a time until it reaches the end of the program. It then resets any output conditions that have changed since the previous scan. The next step is to check all inputs to determine whether they are high (power applied to that input point) or low (no power applied to that input point). This information is available for the next scan. The next step is to update the display of the programming terminal if one is connected. The last step is to reset the “watchdog” timer.
