Ladder Logic

Ladder Logic is a programming language used primarily in industrial automation to control machines and processes. It resembles a ladder, with two vertical lines representing power and horizontal rungs that symbolize different control instructions. Each rung corresponds to a specific task, where conditions are checked (like switches or sensors) that determine if an action (like turning on a motor) should occur. This visual format makes it easier for engineers to understand and troubleshoot control systems, as it mimics electrical relay logic that many are familiar with in the field of automation.
