WHAT IS A PLC?

• PLC is a digitally operating electronic system,

designed for use in an industrial environment,
which uses a programmable memory for the
internal storage of user-oriented instructions
for implementing specific functions such as
logic, sequencing, timing, counting and
arithmetic, to control, through digital or
analog inputs and outputs, various types of
machines or processes.
