    Ladder-Logic Tutorial

    Uploaded by

    Relay ladder logic is a type of control system used for relatively simple ON/OFF automation systems like pneumatics. It uses relays and ladder diagrams to represent sequences of operations. A basic "one shot" circuit is described that uses a momentary push button to activate a solenoid valve to extend and retract a cylinder once before resetting. The circuit works by energizing a control relay when the button is pressed, which then holds the solenoid on even after the button is released until the cylinder limit switch is activated to cut power.
