Question 3
Question
To express a number in decimal requires fewer digits than in the binary system.
Question 4
Question
For a base 2 number system, the weight value associated with the 3rd digit would be 4.
Question 5
Question
Label the "Sign Bit" and the "Magnitude Bits"
Question 6
Question
What is the decimal value of binary 110010?
Question 7
Question
The decimal number 15 would be written in binary as
Question 8
Question
Data can be stored in one 16-bit word as two separate groups of 8-bit data.
Question 9
Question
To represent a negative number in 1's complement, you simply take the number's magnitude and flip all the bits (i.e. 1 becomes 0, and 0 becomes 1).
Question 10
Question
+3 binary representation: 0011
-3 binary representation: [blank_start]1100[blank_end] (1's complement)
Question 11
Question
The octal numbering system has a base of 9.
Question 12
Question
The weights for the octal numbering system are: 1, [blank_start]8[blank_end], [blank_start]64[blank_end], 512, ...
Question 13
Question
Numbers 8 and 9 are not allowed in the octal numbering system.
Question 14
Question
Fill in the missing number.
Question 15
Question
Convert this octal number to binary.
Question 16
Question
The 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]
Question 17
Question
The weights of the hexadecimal system are powers of base 16 (i.e. 1, 16, 256, etc.).
Question 18
Question
To convert a hexadecimal number to its decimal equivalent, the hexadecimal digits in the columns are divided by the base 16 weight.
Question 19
Question
Convert this hex number into binary.
Question 20
Question
The 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.

Question 22
Question
This 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.
Question 23
Question
The Gray code is a special type of binary code that uses position weighting.
Question 24
Question
ASCII 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.

Question 25
Question
Gray codes are used with [blank_start]position encoders[blank_end] for accurate control of the motion of robots, machine tools, and servomechanisms.
Question 26
Question
Some 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.
Question 27
Question
The two systems of parity normally used are odd and even.
Question 28
Question
Odd 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].
Question 29
Question
In the binary system + and – symbols are used to indicate whether a number is positive or negative.
Question 30
Question
The octal number 153 would be written in binary as:
Answer
-
011 101 001
-
011 111 101
-
001 101 011
-
010 100 011
