You should become familiar with some common terminology

and lingo used in the digital controls industry. (If you are familiar
with the Synthesys controller, the logic of the Simplicity® will be
familiar territory.)
If this is your first exposure to the world of digital controls you

may experience a lot of new terms, acronyms and technical
lingo commonly used in the controls industry. For example, the
Simplicity® input and output hardware points are described as
analog, relating to a continuous scale of value readings such
as a temperature sensor ranging from -400F to 1600F range, or
binary, meaning 2-states, either on or off, open or closed, true
or false, one or zero. The term “digital” also means two states
and its use is often interchanged with “binary”. These points
may be either factory- or field-set.
