Description
1. Every rung in the ladder program begins with either a STR or STN.
2. Every rung will contain one or more contacts.
3. Every rung will end in one or more output coils or application instructions.
4. When programming a ladder with NO and NC contacts, GPC will automatically use the
proper contact instruction (STR, STN, AND, ANN, OR, ORN).
Start of circuit: R000.2, R000.3
End of circuit: R015.2, R015.3
