Would (A'B) + y and (AB)+y be correct? For the truth table, how would I construct it?

 

You do not normally represent an output used inside a rung in that way, it would be a Y (output function) represented as a AND/OR/NOR function etc just identified with the Y designation #.

Can you give an example of how a y(input) is used in the boolean equation? I understand that A only needs to be true when the motor is energized.

 

The Y output function as all the other functions, should have a separate identifier in order to separate one from the other, IOW Y1 Y2 etc, the corresponding function inside a rung would be a boolean function and it identifier, as e.g Y1 -| |- ,
I am no expert on boolean arithmetic only as it pertains to applications such as PLC programming for e.g. and circuit ladder as portrayed in the Schneider PDF.

My teacher confirmed that in Boolean it would be Accent A to show NC( B+Y). Thanks for the help.

 

Obviously that format does not correspond to the Boolean format I am used to where (Y) represents a final result.
It would be -|Y|- used as part of the decision inside a string.
