Numbering Systems and Codes 222

The class Numbering Systems and Codes explains the numbering systems used with PLCs, as well as the process for converting between different numbering systems. PLCs use numbering systems to process data and perform calculations. These systems include the decimal system, binary system, octal system, and hexadecimal system. PLC operators also use codes based on numbering systems, such as binary coded decimal, when entering information into an input/output module on a PLC. After taking this course, users will be familiar with the characteristics and conversion processes for numbering systems used with a PLC. This helps operators understand the internal operations of a PLC, which may simplify troubleshooting, reduce downtime, and improve productivity.
