English term or phrase: ladder logic

Definition from Manufacturing automation:
symbolic representation illustrates schematically the functions of a control circuit. The power lines form the sides of a ladder-like structure, with the program elements arranged to form the rungs.

Example sentence(s):

In an effort to make PLCs easy to program, their programming language was designed to resemble ladder logic diagrams. Thus, an industrial electrician or electrical engineer accustomed to reading ladder logic schematics would feel comfortable programming a PLC to perform the same control functions. All about circuits
Traditionally, ladder logic has dealt only with discrete values and counter/timers, but the ladder diagram today also supports mathematical operations using function blocks. Control Engineering
One common development platform is called ladder logic. Ladder logic is a programming language based on executing commands on a line-by-line permission system. Each ladder logic program comprises one or more ladder logic statements. electronic manufacturers

Kontakplan (KOP)

Definition:
Kontaktplan ist eine grafische Programmiersprache, die es dem Anwender ermöglicht, Zeile für Zeile verschiedene logische Verbindungen zwischen Schaltelementen herzustellen. Sie ist eine von 5 Programmiersprachen für speicherprogrammierbare Steuerungen (SPS), die in der internationalen Norm IEC 61131 definiert sind.

Kontakplan (KOP)

Definition from Own experience and Wikipedia:
Kontaktplan ist eine grafische Programmiersprache, die es dem Anwender ermöglicht, Zeile für Zeile verschiedene logische Verbindungen zwischen Schaltelementen herzustellen. Sie ist eine von 5 Programmiersprachen für speicherprogrammierbare Steuerungen (SPS), die in der internationalen Norm IEC 61131 definiert sind.

Example sentence(s):

Kontaktplan ist an Stromlaufplan angelehnt und erleichtert den Umstieg von Relais-Schaltungen zur SPS. Die senkrechten Linien links und rechts kann man als die Pole eines Stromkreises interpretieren. Eingänge werden als Relaiskontakte (Taster) dargestellt, ein Schließer erfüllt hierbei die logische Funktion UND, ein Öffner UND NICHT. Logisches ODER lässt sich durch parallele Strompfade modellieren. Der zu schaltende Ausgang wird als Relaisspule dargestellt, analog z.B. zu einer Glühbirne. - Technische Universität Clausthal

Explanation:
Die anderen Programmiersprachen in IEC 61131 sind:
IL (Instruction List) = AWL (Anweisungsliste)
FBD (Function Block Diagram) = FUP (Funktionsplan)
SFC (Sequential Function Chart) = AS (Ablaufsprache)
ST (Structured Text) = ST (Strukturierter Text)
