What is a Logic Controller?
A Logic Controller is a compact electronic device included in the Nano-PLC family. It can
be used to control and monitor a set of conditions according to the state of the sensors,
the passing of time and the program created using software. Logic Controllers can be pre-
programmed to perform certain tasks (time, count, detect, display, communicate or process)
and at specic and selected times and intervals. Logic Controllers use either relays or solid
state outputs to control operations.

The basics
Logic Controllers are compact Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) with built-in timers,
counters, and compare function blocs, only they are easier to program (graphical software)
making them easier to install and use. In many ways, they are applied much like the hardwired
controls they replace.
We can represent Logic Controllers schematically as follows :
Power
Supply
AC
or
DC
Inputs from sensors
Outputs to actuators
