Contacts

The Micro PLC instruction set includes the following contacts:

± ±	Normally-open contact. Passes power flow to the right when its
	associated reference is = 1.
± " ±	Positive transition contact. Passes power flow to the right for one
	program cycle when its associated reference changes from 0 to 1.
± / ±	Normally-closed contact. Passes power flow to the right while its
	associated reference is = 0.
± #±	Negative transition contact. Passes power flow to the right for one
	program cycle when its associated reference changes from 1 to 0.

Each of these contact types is described more fully on the pages that follow. If you are using the programming software, refer to the programming instructions below. If you are using the Hand-held Programmer, refer to the instructions for each contact type.
