Hello all, recently i have been using some practical lab examples to brush up on my programming abilities. What i have noticed is that although my ladder logic works when i program the scenario given to me, it differs from the one my lab shows as the finished product. I have noticed that the examples use "bit status flags" and i was wondering if this method has some benefits that i am not aware of? for example, instead of programming a switch with a physical input address to operate a given output it will instead use that switch to operate more involved latch/unlatch rungs which will then turn on the output. I hope that example is sufficient.
