Ladder Diagram

A ladder diagram is a visual way to represent electrical control systems, similar to a flowchart. It uses horizontal lines called "rungs" to show different control processes, with symbols representing switches, relays, and motors. The layout resembles a ladder, with two vertical rails and multiple rungs connecting them. Engineers use ladder diagrams to design, troubleshoot, and understand how machines and automation systems operate, making complex electrical interactions clearer and easier to manage without needing detailed wiring diagrams.
