Am I getting the input to the PLC?
The Led on the output card means i am getting voltage out right? does it?
What exactly happens in between? ,theres more than just a program in the CPU
How exactly does it scan the program?
What is this Watchdog Timer? Is it that important?
Can I use the same output twice? That’s bad programming isn’t it?
A PLC is a logic controller, so use a logical approach to fault find it.
What are the 8 simple test points to check?
The PLC is in RUN, that means theres a program right? does it?
FORCING a bit and toggling a bit is pretty much the same yeah? depends on which PLC
