Ladder Logic
You use Ladder Logic to write your project application. U90 Ladder is based on Boolean principals and follows
IEC 1131-3 conventions.
Ladder Diagrams are composed of different types of contact, coil and function block elements. In U90 Ladder,
these elements are placed on nets.
In any Ladder Diagram, the contacts represent input conditions. They lead power from the left rail to the right
rail. Coils represent output instructions. In order for output coils to be activated, the logical state of the contacts
must allow the power to flow through the net to the coil.
Ladder Net
A U90 Ladder net is the smallest division of a ladder diagram in Unitronics' U90 Ladder software.
Your first ladder element on the left must be connected to the left side of the ladder in each net. You do not need
to connect the last element on the right to the right side of the ladder in each net.
You should place only one ladder rung on a Ladder net.
Power flows through the ladder elements in a net from left to right. If you build a net that would result in reverse
power flow (right to left) the following error message occurs:
Placing more than one rung in a net may cause compiler problems in your project.
Examples:
This net is constructed properly.
