Program Plan Intro

Timer:

  • Timer is mainly used to keep an output ON for a specific length of time.
  • It provides a preset delay to the control actions.
  • In a timer, the output will be energized when the preset value becomes equal to the accumulated value.
  • Three different types of timers include Delay-OFF timer, Delay-ON timer and Delay-ON-Retentive timer.

Timer On Delay (TON):

  • TON refers to an on-delay timer.
  • The on-delay timer is the most commonly used timer.
  • TON counts the time-based intervals as soon as the instruction becomes true.
  • Here, the output changes its state from low to high when the timer provides time delay (instruction goes from OFF to ON state).

Explanation of Solution

b.

Timer-timing bit of a timer instruction:

  • When the accumulated value of a timer changes, the timer-timing bit becomes true.
  • The accumulated value refers to the current delay of the timer.
  • The timer instruction becomes true when the control line of the timer is energized by the power s...

Explanation of Solution

c.

Done bit of a timer:

  • The accumulated value refers to the current delay of the timer.
  • The preset value refers to the delay period of the timer...

If a UDP datagram is sent from host A, port P to host B, port Q, but at host B there is no process listening to port Q, then B is to send back an ICMP Port Unreachable message to A. Like all ICMP messages, this is addressed to A as a whole, not to port P on A. (a)  Give an example of when an application might want to receive such ICMP messages. (b)  Find out what an application has to do, on the operating system of your choice, to receive such messages. (c)  Why might it not be a good idea to send such messages directly back to the originating port P on A?
Discuss how business intelligence and data visualization work together to help decision-makers and data users. Provide 2 specific use cases.
This week we will be building a regression model conceptually for our discussion assignment. Consider your current workplace (or previous/future workplace if not currently working) and answer the following set of questions. Expand where needed to help others understand your thinking:  What is the most important factor (variable) that needs to be predicted accurately at work? Why? Justify its selection as your dependent variable.
