To make these instructions 32 bit?
To make theses functions work you must have?

A
Addition ADD
Subtraction SUB
Multiplication MUL
Division DIV
Add  a D in front 
A source A and source B and a destination to put them
22
Q

In C0 k2 what does the k stand for?

23
Q

Define the following numeric constants?
K
H
E

A

K decimal
H hexadecimal
E floating or real number

24
In an octal numbering system, what two numbers are never used?
8 & 9
25
Why are transistors used?
When very fast switching is required.
26
What current does a transistor use?
DC
27
What current does a triac use?
AC
28
What current does a relay use?
Either ac or dc
29
What voltage can we use in our PLCS?
AC or DC voltage
30
Why are PLCS used over conventional motor controls?
Less space Hardwiring time More reliable Easily changed
31
What are the four units that make a Plc?
CPU Input unit Output unit Power supply
32
What numbering system does the Mitsubishi unit use?
Octal
33
The terms sinking sourcing refers to what?
The direction the current is flowing. | A common terminal
34
A sinking device is also known as?
NPN
35
A sourcing device is also known as?
PNP
36
USB stands firm?
Universal Serial Bus
37
What is the scan cycle?
The amount of time required by the processor to process the ladder diagram one time.
38
Inputs are protected by what type of device?
Photo couplers or optal coupler
39
What must be took into consideration when adding new expansion modules in the Mitsubishi PLCS?
Make sure the power supply is not exceeded.
40
Three connections used in the Mitsubishi PLCS are?
Serial USB Ethernet
41
What is the difference between Call and Jump instructions?
Call has a sub routine and the main program will resume after the subroutine was called. The jump condition jumps to the pointer location and skips everything in between.
