Introduction to Ladder Diagram Edge Detection

This nugget uses the Virtual Learning Environment to show how rising and falling edge detection gates are used in a Ladder Diagram. While standard output and inputs are commonly used when connecting inputs to outputs, edge detection is commonly used together with timers and counters.

In this nugget, learners will learn how to use edge detection using the Ladder Diagram language, including the symbols and instructions used to represent the different components of the circuit. By following the instructions provided in this nugget, learners will gain practical experience building edge detection and will be able to apply this knowledge to more complex PLC programs.
