Question

How does a radio button work?

Answer

A Radio button is assigned to a word (16 bit register) in the PLC. Each bit in the word (of this
associated tag) corresponds to an individual button of the radio button object. Only one button can be
ON at a time. So, turning one button ON automatically turns all other buttons OFF.
