A Ladder Diagram (LD) is a graphical representation of Boolean equations that
combines contacts (input arguments) with coils (output results). Using graphic
symbols in a program chart (organized like a relay ladder wiring diagram), the LD
language describes the tests and modifications of Boolean data.
LD graphic symbols are organized within the chart as an electrical contact
diagram. The term "ladder" comes from the concept of rungs connected to vertical
power rails at both ends where each rung represents an individual circuit.
Connected Components Workbench™ support for Ladder Diagram (LD)
Connected Components Workbench™ provides an LD language editor and
supports the elements and instructions that are supplied with the Connected
Components Workbench software only.
