Easily changed

31
Q

What are the four units that make a Plc?

A

CPU
Input unit
Output unit
Power supply

32
Q

What numbering system does the Mitsubishi unit use?

A

Octal

33
Q

The terms sinking sourcing refers to what?

A

The direction the current is flowing.

A common terminal

34
Q

A sinking device is also known as?

A

NPN

35
Q

A sourcing device is also known as?

A

PNP

36
Q

USB stands firm?

A

Universal Serial Bus

37
Q

What is the scan cycle?

A

The amount of time required by the processor to process the ladder diagram one time.

38
Q

Inputs are protected by what type of device?

A

Photo couplers or optal coupler

39
Q

What must be took into consideration when adding new expansion modules in the Mitsubishi PLCS?

A

Make sure the power supply is not exceeded.

40
Q

Three connections used in the Mitsubishi PLCS are?

A

Serial
USB
Ethernet

41
Q

What is the difference between Call and Jump instructions?

A

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.
