Mismatch Table
A printout of those programmable controller addresses in a ladder logic program
which do not have descriptor records.
Offline When the computer is not connected to the programmable controller and works
instead from a database.
Online When the computer is connected to a programmable controller, working with it

Operator In mathematics (and in Equation Networks), a symbol or character that indicates a
specific operation to be performed on one or more elements, called operands. In "3
+ Y", the plus sign (+) is an operator that indicates addition between the two
operands, "3" and "Y".
