This is a PROGRAMMING language, which expresses a program as a series of “coils” and “contacts”, simulating the operation of ELECTROMECHANICAL relays. The resultant program is the EQUIVALENT of an equation, which is EXECUTED continuously in a combinatorial manner. The ADVANTAGE of this language is the familiarity many electricians have with the simple operation of relays. Disadvantages include the complexity of large, cross-connected programs, and the difficulty of expressing such non-binary functions as motion control and analog I/O.
