Circuit diagram
The circuit diagram is that part of the program where the 
contacts are connected together. In RUN mode a coil is 
switched on and off in accordance with the current flow and 
the coil function specified.
Function relay
Function relays are program elements with special functions. 
Example: timing relays, time switches, counters. Function 
relays are elements provided with or without contacts and 
coils as required. In RUN mode the function relays are 
processed according to the circuit diagram and the results 
are updated accordingly.
Examples: 
Timing relay = function relay with contacts and coils 
Time switch = function relay with contacts
Relays
Relays are switching devices which are electronically 
simulated in the logic relay. They actuate their contacts 
according to their designated function. A relay consists of at 
least a coil and a contact.
Contacts
You modify the current flow with the contacts in the CL 
circuit diagram. Contacts such as n/o contacts are set to 1 
when they are closed and 0 when they are opened. 
Every n/o or n/c contact in the CL circuit diagram can be 
defined as either a n/o contact or a n/c contact.
