TerminologyTerminology

Project : A project is a file that contains all of the ladder logic, PLC setup, and communication settings associated with a particular PLC program.

Block: A section of ladder logic that is grouped together because of a common theme is referred to as a block. Using blocks is a common method of organizing a project into individual functional entities without affecting the execution of the ladder logic (i.e. alarms, diagnostics, initialization, etc.). Blocks can be named and referred to by their name for easy cut-and-paste editing.

Network: A single rung of ladder logic is referred to as a network. As with Blocks, networks can also be named and referred to by name when programming for easy cut-and-paste editing.
