Wiring Discrete I/O to an XGB PLC

Wiring Discrete I/O to an XGB PLC

We will be wiring discrete inputs and outputs to an XGB PLC. This will be a lighted pushbutton start and stop. In industrial automation, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are crucial in controlling various machines and processes. One of the most widely used PLCs is the LS Electric XGB series, which is known for its reliability … Read more

How PLC Outputs Work – Discrete and Analog

This post is a further follow-up from my original ‘Here’s a Quick Way to Understand PLC Inputs and Outputs.’ There are two different kinds of PLC outputs, Discrete and analog. Discrete outputs are either ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’; 1 or 0. You can think of them as a single light bulb. Analog outputs have a range … Read more
