What is PLC ?

PLC Overviews
Topic 3. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)
Programmable Logic Controller is a small computer which automatically controls various processes
and components in an industrial system. For the sake of comparison, let’s take a process that is
manual as an example thinks of PLC as a brain controlling a finger on a trigger of an applicator.

The brain sends a signal to the finger directing it to pull the finger when something is dispensed and
when the brain wants to stop it sends another signal. Like most of the brains, it can multitask and it’s
lightning fast Just like that, it can control much input and output signal like direct a paint line to
change colors so all the widgets being painted go from one color to other.

It communicates to the CPU status of the field devices as well as acts as a tool to control. The
programming device is actually a computer loaded with programming software which will allow a user
to create and make changes in the PLC software. The memory provides storage media for
the PLC program as well as for other data.
