 Its a digital computer in the machine which controls the actuators by reading the signals
from sensors & pre-programmed algorithms. Just like you have a controller in your
Washing machine, Microwave oven or Air conditioner, PLC is a Programmable Logic
Controller which can be used to execute Industrial Process-Level Control, Temperature
Control, Speed Control, Factory Automation and many other processes.
Almost 99% of Manufacturing & Process industries are PLC controlled, but the irony is,
only 30% of Universities & Institutes have studies devoted to PLCs.
What is PLC? How to Wire the PLC and advantages.
How PLC read signal from the Sensor? Hardware
How to program the PLC? Various steps involved in Programming PLC?
