A. Input and output module


B. CPU
C. Power supply
D. All of the above
Second question: indicate whether the Statement is true or false(20 marks)
1- The power supply unit is needed to convert the mains DC voltage to the low AC
voltage in PLC device( )
2- The programming device is used to enter the required program into the memory unit of
the PLC ( )
3- An up counter increases its accumulated value (the count value in its accumulated
register) each time the up-count event makes an OFF-to-ON transition. ( )
4- The rails are called “power rails” in the ladder diagram( )
5- Rules in ladder logic are termed “Rails” and each rail has a single output. ( )
6- The system power supply provides all of the necessary voltage levels to ensure proper
operation of the processor and memory components.( )
7- A 32- bit microprocessor can manipulate data faster than a 16-bit micro, since it
manipulates twice as much data in one operation.( )
8- If logic continuity is lost before the timer times out, the timer resets the accumulated
register to zero. ( )
9- The scan time is the total time that the PLC takes to complete the I/O update only,
scan.( )
10- The scan time depends on two factors 1- the amount of memory taken by the control
program, and 2- the type of instructions used in the program( )
11- Analog signals have an infinite number of states. ( )
12- The analog instructions used with analog input modules are similar to the instructions
used with multi-bit discrete inputs..( )
13- Executive Area is a temporary stored collection of programs that are part of the
system.( )
14- An up counter increases its accumulated value (the count value in its accumulated
register) each time the up-count event makes an OFF-to-ON transition ( )
15- The input table is an array of bits that stores the status of digital inputs connected to
the PLC’s input interface.( ).
16- The output table is an array of bits that controls the status of digital output devices that
are connected to the PLC’s output interface.( )
17- Analog input interfaces translate continuous analog signals into discrete values that
can be interpreted by PLC processors. ( ).
18- Input module will have an address 1264, which stands for input 1, rack 2, slot 6,
connection 4 ( )
19- Circuit breaker designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by
overload or short circuit( )
20- In DC Inputs Sink/Source If a device provides current when it is ON, it is said to be
sinking current ( )
