3- Days WORKSHOP ON PLC

1. Concept and Methodology
Pakistan is at the verge of industrial boom. The classical methods of automation using relays are
unpopular among the industrial sectors and losing their market interest. Due to dynamic development,
sequential control, counters and timers, ease of programming, reliable controlling capabilities, and ease
of hardware usage; PLC based automation is making its ground and becoming popular in industrial
corridors.

A programmable logic controller (PLC) is a digital computer that can be programmed to control
manufacturing processes, robotic devices, assembly lines and numerous other units that require
process fault diagnosis. PLC’s have been implemented worldwide as highly reliable automation
controllers that are suitable for rugged environments. These were first developed to replace hard-wired
relays, timers and sequences. PLC have many advantages over conventional relay automation, some
of them are

 Can be easily programmed and the language used for this is easily understood.
 Rugged design to withstand high temperatures, humidity, noise, etc.
 Have input and output interfaces already situated inside the controller.
 Usually no problem occurs when a skilled workforce is used.
 System designed for multiple outputs and inputs.
