Why Do I Need to Understand How Data Is Represented?
In order to install, program,maintain, and troubleshoot today’s PLCs, you must understand the different methods by which internal data is represented.

We Use Words to Represent Information
Our words are groups of characters grouped together to represent something.
The words we use are of different lengths: ControllerTheMonday

Computers Do Not Understand
Computers do not understand the words and numbers humans use.
Computers have their own language called binary.

Binary Language
Binary information is also represented in groups of characters.
A group of BInary digiTs called bits can be organized into words.
Binary bits consist of only two characters: 1 and 0

Binary Words
16 bits grouped together is called a word.
A binary would might look like:
1010 1010 1010 1010 1010

Decimal Numbers
Ten Digits 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
Base or radix 10
Weights 1, 10, 100, 1000 …..
