Title: Explain hexadecimal, decimal, octal, binary, 2s complement, and binary coded decimal (BCD) values as used in a common PLC.
Course: Mechatronics III (13901-III) > Section: Understanding Programmable Logic Controller Systems

Explanation should include how these codes are relevant to mechatronic systems.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How are physical properties encoded in these numbering systems?
- How do different encoding systems affect the behavior of a mechatronic system?
- Why are there so many different values used and/or needed in PLCs?
