Question 1: What is the primary difference between a bit-level instruction and a word-level instruction in PLC programming?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Bit-level instructions operate on single bits, word-level on multiple bits

Bit-level instructions are used for time delays, word-level for counting

Bit-level instructions handle large data arrays

Word-level instructions are more efficient for analog signals
