Review of Tags in Ladder Logic

When you use tags in ladder logic applications, remember these guidelines:

Ladder logic tags represent the module on a point per bit basis. For
example, point 0 = bit 0 on the module.

If you are performing a service through the tags, a value of 0 prevents the
action from occurring, and a value of 1 causes the action to occur. For
example, if you want to reset the electronic fuse on a particular bit, enter 1
in the tags.

If you are checking the response of a service through the tags, a value of 0
means the bit passed the service, and a value of 1 means the bit failed the
service. For example, if you perform a pulse test and the response displays a
0 for a particular bit, the bit passed the test.
