Which approach involves placing each output on a separate rung and using the same input tags to drive all outputs?

• A. Branch the outputs
• B. Place each output on a separate rung and use the same input tags
• C. Use a counter
• D. Time-Driven Sequencing

Answer: (B)

When testing how to drive multiple outputs from the same trigger, placing each output on its own rung and using the same input tags keeps the logic simple, visible, and scalable. Each rung monitors the same input condition, and energizes its own coil, so all outputs respond together whenever the input is true, but you can see and verify the state of every output independently on its own rung. This layout makes it easy to add or modify outputs without touching other logic and helps with troubleshooting, since you can confirm the exact state of each output coil directly from its rung. Other approaches—like wiring outputs in branches on a single rung, or using a counter or a timer to sequence outputs—either reduce visibility for individual outputs or introduce sequencing behavior that isn’t required by this question.
