5. Ladder diagram interpretation - ANSWER✓ Understand rungs, logic
elements, and power flow left to right.
6. Rules of drawing a ladder diagram - ANSWER✓ Include power rails, left-
to-right logic, one output per rung, label components, no crossings, logical
sequence.
,7. Elements of control logic - ANSWER✓ AND, OR, NOT, NOR, NAND, and
memory logic.
