7-1-1 Introduction to Device Functions 
Input / output contacts 
Function of input contact X: the input contact X connects with an input device, and reads input 
signals entering the PLC. There is no limit to the number of times that contact A or B of each input 
contact X can be used in the program. The ON / OFF of input contact X only can change with the ON / 
OFF of input device; a peripheral device (WPLsoft) cannot be used to force input contact X to be ON / 
OFF. 
Output contact Y 
The task of output contact Y is to send an ON / OFF signal to drive the load connected with output 
contact Y. Output contacts are divided into two types: relay and transistor. There is no limit to the number 
of times that contact A or B of each output contact Y. It is recommended that the number of output coil 
Y is used only once in a program, otherwise the right to determine the output state when the PLC 
performs program scanning will be assigned to the program's final output Y circuit.

PLC can use five types of numerical values to implement calculations based on its control tasks; 
the following content is explanations of the tasks and functions of different numerical values. 
  Binary Number (BIN) 
PLC's numerical operations and memory use binary numbers. Binary values and related terms 
are as follows: 
bit  Bit is the fundamental unit of binary system, and its state is either 1 or 0 
Nibble 
Consist of four consecutive bits, e.g. b3–b0. To indicate a value which range 
between 0–9 in decimal or a value which range between 0–F in 
hexadecimal .
