Participant Guide Application Development Writing Ladder Diagram Logic Ladder Diagram (LD) is a graphical language that uses a standard set of symbols to represent relay logic. A ladder diagram resembles an electrical wiring diagram and can be divided into sections, named rungs. The basic elements are coils and contacts connected by links and defined by left and right power rails. A ladder diagram follows the power flow characteristics of relay logic. Functions and function blocks that have at least one binary input and output can be used in LD diagrams. Components of a ladder diagram are: • Contacts. • Coils. In this section, you will write LD logic for a water tank alarm. One of the program inputs (represented by a contact) connects to a sensor to detect if the water level is too high. A second input (contact) detects if the water level is too low. The output sets an alarm (represented by a coil) if the water level is too high or too low. A counter counts the number of times the alarm is set. Figure 25 shows the completed LD logic. Figure 25 – LD logic Creating a User Document Project logic is created as user documents. User documents include programs, functions, function blocks, and data types. Contacts A contact is an element in LD language that represents an input or state of a variable. The state is referred to as ON or OFF, and is equivalent to Boolean states True (1) and False (2). A contact is not used to change the value of a variable. 8602 Triconex General Purpose (Tri-GP) Configuration and Implementation A.0 3–119 Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2021 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc.

Application Development Participant Guide Table 12 lists the contacts types, symbol, and description. Table 12 – Contacts Contact Type Symbol Description Normally Open —| |— The state of the left link is copied to the right link if the state Normally —| / |— of the Boolean variable is On. Closed —| P |— Positive The state of the left link is copied to the right link if the state Transition —| N |— of the Boolean variable is Off. Negative The state of the right link is On from one evaluation to the Transition next when the associated variable changes from Off to On while the state of the left link is On. The state of the right link is On from one evaluation to the next when the associated variable changes from On to Off while the state of the left link is On. The Contact Tool button is used to place contacts on the logic sheet. Coils A coil represents an output state. It can be used to change the state of the associated Boolean variable. The following table lists the coils types, symbols, and description. Contact Type Symbol Description Normal (Momentary) ( ) The state of the left link is copied to the associated Negated (Momentary) ( / ) Boolean variable and to the right link. Positive Transition (P) The inverse of the state of the left link is copied to the Negative (N) associated Boolean variable and to the right link. Transition (S) Set (Latch) The state of the associated Boolean variable is On from one (R) evaluation to the next if the left link changes from On to Off. Reset (Unlatch) The associated Boolean variable is set to On if the left link is in the On state and remains On until reset by the RESET coil. The associated Boolean variable is reset to Off if the left link is in the On state and remains Off until set by the SET coil. The Coil Tool button is used to place coils on the logic sheet. 3–120 8602 Triconex General Purpose (Tri-GP) Configuration and Implementation A.0 Schneider Electric Proprietary and Confidential Information © 2021 Schneider Electric Systems USA, Inc.
