Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC’s) are specialized microcomputers specifically designed for automated control of industrial processes. The most commonly used programming language for PLC’s is ladder logic. This paper describes a classroom experiment designed to test the effectiveness of a graphical tool called “I/O mapping” in improving ladder programming. The experimental results are consistent with instructor observation that the technique helps students improve ladder program quality and/or problem-solving efficiency.
