Q 3(a)[6 Marks] Explain how a programmable logic controller (PLC) controls an automated process in terms of inputs and outputs. Why is the program sequence often irrelevant? Q 3(b)[4 Marks] What is the difference between staged programming and standard programming in ladder logic? Q 3(c)[8 Marks] Show how to create a memory function in ladder logic with a simple set switch S and a reset switch R. Explain how your ladder logic works. Q 3(d)[7 Marks] What adaptation would be required to make the ladder logic for the memory developed in Q3c on-dominant, i.e. where the set function takes precedence over the reset function? Explain how your ladder logic works. [End of Question 3]
