Boolean Logic to PLC Function Blocks | Fundamentals

Overview

This video explains how Boolean Logic is applied in PLC programming, especially when using Function Block Diagrams (FBD).

Boolean logic is based on simple true/false values (1 and 0) and is used to control digital inputs and outputs in PLC systems.

The video shows how basic logic operations such as AND and OR are implemented using function blocks, and how these blocks are connected to build control logic.

It also demonstrates how Boolean algebra can be used to simplify and optimize PLC programs, reducing the number of function blocks and improving system efficiency.
