16The hexadecimal numbering system can be summarized as follows:
Sixteen digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, [blank_start]6[blank_end], [blank_start]7[blank_end], [blank_start]8[blank_end], [blank_start]9[blank_end], [blank_start]A[blank_end], [blank_start]B[blank_end], [blank_start]C[blank_end], [blank_start]D[blank_end], [blank_start]E[blank_end], [blank_start]F[blank_end]- A6
- B7
- C8
- D9
- EA
- FB
- GC
- HD
- IE
- JF
17The weights of the hexadecimal system are powers of base 16 (i.e. 1, 16, 256, etc.).
- ATrue
- BFalse
18To convert a hexadecimal number to its decimal equivalent, the hexadecimal digits in the columns are divided by the base 16 weight.
- ATrue
- BFalse
19Convert this hex number into binary.
- A0
- B0
- C0
- D1
- E1
- F0
- G1
- H1
- I0
- J1
- K1
- L1
20The BCD (Binary-Coded Decimal) numbering system provides a convenient way of handling [blank_start]large[blank_end] numbers that need to be inputted to or outputted from a PLC.
- Alarge
- Bsmall
21Convert this decimal number into a BCD number.
- A0
- B1
- C1
- D1
- E1
- F0
- G0
- H0
- I0
- J1
- K1
- L0

- N0
- O1
- P1
22This instruction will convert the binary bit pattern at the source address [blank_start]N7:23[blank_end], into a [blank_start]BCD[blank_end] bit pattern of the same decimal value as the destination address, [blank_start]O:20[blank_end]. The instruction executes every time it is scanned and the instruction is true.
- AN7:23
- BO:20
- CBCD
23The Gray code is a special type of binary code that uses position weighting.
- ATrue
- BFalse
24ASCII stands for [blank_start]American[blank_end] [blank_start]Standard[blank_end] [blank_start]Code[blank_end] for [blank_start]Information[blank_end] [blank_start]Interchange[blank_end]. It is an alphanumeric code because it indicates letters as well as numbers.
- AAmerican
- BStandard
- CCode
- DInformation
- EInterchange
25Gray codes are used with [blank_start]position encoders[blank_end] for accurate control of the motion of robots, machine tools, and servomechanisms.
- Aposition encoders
26Some PLC communications systems use a [blank_start]parity[blank_end] bit to check the accuracy of data transmission. For example, when data are transferred between PLCs, one of the binary bits may accidentally change states.
- Aparity
27The two systems of parity normally used are odd and even.
- ATrue
- BFalse
28Odd parity means that the total number of binary 1 bits in the character, including the parity bit, is [blank_start]odd[blank_end]. Even parity means that the total number of binary 1 bits in the character, including the parity bit, is [blank_start]even[blank_end].
- Aodd
- Beven
- Ceven
- Dodd
29In the binary system + and – symbols are used to indicate whether a number is positive or negative.
- ATrue
- BFalse
30The octal number 153 would be written in binary as:
- A011 101 001
- B011 111 101
- C001 101 011
- D010 100 011

- A8421
- B7863
- C1234
