Which term describes the memorized ON state that maintains an ON condition until a reset occurs?

• A. Memorized OFF
• B. Memorized ON
• C. Set & Hold
• D. Non-Latching Coil

Answer: (B)

Memorized ON describes a control element that latches into the ON condition and stays there even after the input is removed, until a reset action occurs. This memory behavior is what allows the output to remain energized without a continuous input. It’s the explicit label for the state that persists ON until you explicitly reset it. Memorized OFF would latch to the OFF state, which is the opposite behavior. A non-latching coil follows the input and drops out when the input is removed, so it doesn’t memorize. Set & Hold can involve holding a state after a set, but the standard term for the specific memorized ON condition described is memorized ON.
