The Importance of Choosing Normally Open and Normally Closed Contacts in PLCs

The Importance of Choosing Normally Open and Normally Closed Contacts in PLCs

In low-voltage control circuits, stop and emergency stop buttons are generally designed with normally closed contacts. However, in PLC control, many colleagues dismiss this, thinking, “It doesn’t matter whether we use normally open or normally closed contacts; both can achieve the same result.” This mindset often leads to significant losses. For example, in a simple … Read more
