open) is a momentary device (i.e., it allows continuity only when pressed), a
contact from the motor output is used to seal the circuit. Often, the seal-in
contact is an input from the motor starter contacts.
EXAMPLE 3: EXCLUSIVE-OR CIRCUIT
The exclusive-OR circuit in Figure 11-74 is used to prevent an output from
energizing if two conditions, which can activate the output independently,
occur simultaneously. Thus, if either input A or B is activated, the output will
be energized. However; if both are activated, the output will not be
energized.
EXAMPLE 4: ONE-SHOT SIGNAL
The one-shot (transitional output) signal in Figure 11-75 is a program-
generated pulse output that, when triggered, is ON for the duration of one
program scan and then turns OFF. A momentary signal (e.g., a push button)
or an output that comes ON and stays ON for some time (e.g., a motor) can
enable a one-shot signal. Whichever input signal is used, the leading-edge
(OFF-to-ON) transition of the input signal triggers the one-shot signal,
