Dear existing & future PLC software developers, I have published part 10 of my free PLC programming using TwinCAT 3 tutorial.

When designing and building a control system you will eventually want the control system to actuate something, be it a relay, a motor, a pneumatic system or maybe a complete 6-axis robot. To get feedback of the actuation, sensors are needed. In this part we will cover how we communicate with the environment using inputs and outputs.
