For the given ladder program following switches are used to provide input.
Switch A is Normally Closed (momentary) connected to <Local:2:I.Data[1].0>
Switch B is Normally Open (momentary) connected to < Local:2:I.Data[1].1>
Switch C is Normally Closed (momentary) connected to < Local:2:I.Data[1].2>

Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Switch Configurations
  • Switch A: Normally Closed (NC)
  • Switch B: Normally Open (NO)
  • Switch C: Normally Closed (NC)
Step 2: Analyze the Ladder Diagram
  • The motor will be activated if there is a continuous path of logic 1 from left to right.
  • For the motor to be on, all switches in the path must be in a state that allows current to flow.
Step 3: Determine the Required Switch States
  • Switch A (NC): Must be released (not pressed) to allow current to flow.
  • Switch B (NO): Must be pressed to allow current to flow.
  • Switch C (NC): Must be released (not pressed) to allow current to flow.

Final Answer

  • Switch A: Released
  • Switch B: Pressed
  • Switch C: Released

Therefore, the correct option is:

  • Switch A-released Switch B-pressed Switch C-released
