1.9  Basic Program Design Examples 
Example 1 - Stop First latched circuit 
When X1 (START) = ON and X2 (STOP) = OFF, Y1 will be ON. 
If X2 is turned on, Y1 will be OFF. This is a Stop First circuit 
because STOP button has the control priority than START  
 
Example 2 - Start First latched circuit 
When X1 (START) = ON and X2 (STOP) = OFF, Y1 will be ON 
and latched. If X2 is turned ON, Y1 remains ON. This is a Start 
First circuit because START button has the control priority than 
STOP 
 
Example 3 - Latched circuit of SET and RST 
The diagram opposite are latched circuits consist of RST and 
SET instructions. 
In PLC processing principle, the instruction close to the end of 
the program determines the final output status of Y1. Therefore, 
if both X1 and X2 are ON, RST which is lower than SET forms a
