On-screen text
PLC IO Sim
This program controls a conveyor. A normally-open pushbutton (PB1) is used to start the conveyor. It will continue running after PB1 is released. A solenoid-operated gate is used to introduce new boxes on the conveyor. The gate is energized when the conveyor motor runs. A normally-closed pushbutton (PB2) is used to stop the conveyor.
PLC IO Sim
This program controls a lamp using a normally-open pushbutton. Pressing the pushbutton (PB1) should turn on the lamp (LAMP1). Releasing the pushbutton (PB1) should turn off the lamp (LAMP1).
