on-delay time
The ON delay time is a measure of the time required for the controller
logic to recognize that a signal has been presented at the input terminal of
the controller.
one shot
A programming technique that sets a bit ON or OFF for one program
scan.
online
When a device is scanning/controlling or when a programming device is
communicating with the controller.
operating voltage
For inputs, the voltage range needed for the input to be in the On state.
For outputs, the allowable range of user-supplied voltage.
output device
A device, such as a pilot light or a motor starter coil, that receives a signal
or command from the controller.
output scan
The controller turns on, off, or modifies the devices connected to the
output terminals.
PCCC
Programmable Controller Communications Commands
processor
A Central Processing Unit. (See CPU.)
processor files
The set of program and data files resident in the controller.
program file
Areas within a processor that contain the logic programs. MicroLogix
controllers support multiple program files.
program mode
When the controller is not scanning the control program.
program scan
A part of the controller’s operating cycle. During the program scan, the
logic program is processed and the Output Image is updated.
programming device
Programming package used to develop ladder logic diagrams.
protocol
The rules of data exchange via communications.
