Getting Started Ladder Editor
VisiLogic: Getting Started 15
In a Ladder diagram, the contacts represent input conditions. They lead power
from the left Ladder rail to the right rail. This is why the first element in a net
must always touch the left 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. This is why the elements in a net
must be connected. Each net must contain only one rung.
