16-4-3  Overview of PLC ladder diagram editing 
     The program editing method begins from the left busbar and proceeds to the right busbar (the 
right busbar is omitted when editing using WPLSoft). Continue to the next row after completing each 
row; there is a maximum of 11 contacts on each row. If this is not sufficient, a continuous line will be 
generated to indicate the continued connection and more devices can be added. A continuous series 
of numbers will be generated automatically and identical input points can be used repeatedly. See 
figure below:   
 
The ladder diagram programming method involves scanning from the upper left corner to the 
lower right corner. The coils and applications command-computing box are handled in the output, and 
the ladder diagram is placed on the farthest right. Taking the figure below as an example, we can 
gradually analyze the procedural sequence of the ladder diagram. The number in the upper right 
corner gives the sequential order.
