PLC Questions

1) The document contains questions and answers about PLC wiring, relays, and proximity sensors. It discusses the components and functions of mechanical relays and solid state relays. 2) Questions cover topics like the terminals of relays, types of proximity sensors, and wiring diagrams for connecting sensors to a PLC module. Proximity sensors are classified as inductive or capacitive and can be normally open or closed. 3) Wiring diagrams show how to connect different types of proximity sensors like NPN and PNP, normally open and closed, to a PLC module for sensing. Inductive sensors work by inducing a voltage change in a coil from nearby metal objects.
