The program in this example has only one statement, “If there is no voltage at
input terminal 02, then energize output terminal 02.” The condition, “If there is
not voltage at input terminal 02,” is really an instruction to the CPU to examine
bit 02 in the input image table to see if it is off. the action portion of our
program, “then energize output terminal 02,” is really another instruction telling
the CPU to turn on bit location 02 in the output image table if the condition has
been met.
