Abstract
The introduction of mathematical operations in the PLC provided major benefits to control logic. Numeric data could be combined with logic to provide more powerful control strategies. For instance, decisions could be made concerning mathematical operations concerning counts of products, weights of a product, the temperature of an oven or any numeric variable in a process.
Various number systems were described including decimal, hexadecimal and octal.
