windows.

Monitoring Ladder Diagrams
In a Ladder Diagram, LogicPro indicates the state of a
variable associated with an element by coloring it bright green
when it is equal to one. This is true for all contacts and coils
except the normally closed contact which is bright green when
the variable associated with it is equal to zero. See Figure 15.4
on page 240.
