Industrial Automation Overview and PLCs

The document discusses industrial automation and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It defines automation as processes performed without human assistance, using mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, electronic, and computer-based devices. The main advantages of automation are listed as labor savings, lower electricity and material costs, and improved quality, accuracy, and precision. PLCs are then introduced as digitally-operating electronic devices that use programming memory to implement logic, sequencing, timing, and other functions to control machines and processes. Examples of PLC manufacturers like Siemens, LS, and Schneider are provided.

Solid State Control System
Hard-wired Logic Control
Introduction

• Programmable controllers were originally designed to


replace relay-based control systems and solid-state,
hard-wired logic control panels. However, the modern
programmable controller’s system is far more
complex and powerful.
Programmable Logic Controllers
( Definition according to NEMA standard ICS3-1978 )

A digitally operating electronic device which uses a


programming memory for the internal storage of
instructions for implementing specific functions such
as logic, sequencing, timing, counting and arithmetic
to control through digital or analog modules, various
types of machines or process.
