Input instructions having certain addresses function based on what?

Input instructions with specific addresses operate based on the state of the OTE (Output Energize) instruction. In programmable controller systems, input instructions are closely linked to output instructions, as they determine the behavior of outputs based on conditions defined by the inputs.

When an input instruction detects that a condition is met, typically represented by the status of a physical input device (like a switch or sensor), it affects the OTE instruction accordingly. The OTE instruction then defines whether an output will be energized or de-energized based on the input state it monitors. This relationship is fundamental in programming logic, as inputs directly influence the OTE execution and thereby control the state of outputs in the system. Understanding this interaction is critical for successful programming and troubleshooting in controller systems.
