Programmable Logic Controllers are solid state devices that can be programmed to performed sequential and discrete state operation on external equipment
They are designed to perform the logic functions previously accomplished by electromechanical relays, drum switches, mechanical and electronic timers and counters, standalone digital PID controllers etc.
Advantages of PLCs: Flexible Faster response time Less and simpler wiring Solid-state and no moving parts Modular design and easy to repair Handles much more complicated systems sophisticated instruction sets available Less expensive Communications Capability: The Hydromantic Division of the General Motors Corporation specified the design criteria for the first programmable controller in 1968 . To eliminate the high costs associated with inflexible, relay-controlled systems. 1968: Programmable logic controller developed
1969: Hardware CPU controller with logic instruction,1K of memory and 128 I/O points
1974: Use of several processors with in PLC-timers and counters, arithmetic operation,12K of memory and 1024 I/O points
1976: Remote input /output systems introduced
1977: Microprocessor based PLC introduced
1980: Intelligence I/O module developed
1983 :Low cost small PLC introduced
1985 ON: Networking of all level of PLC,computer and machine using SCADA software.
