A programmable logic
controller (PLC) is a digital
computer used for automation of
electromechanical processes, such
as control of machinery on factory
assembly lines, control of
amusement rides, or control of
lighting fixtures.
Types of PLC
(1)
Compact
PLC
(2) Modular
PLC
Properties:-
Monolithic (one- Fixed number of
Fixed casing Mono processor
piece) construction I/O
Properties:-
High processing power (several
CPU’s)
More choices in I/O Modules
Concentration of Large No. of I/O’s
Cost effective

In order to create or
change a program, the
following items are
needed:
PLC Programming
Hardware Device
Programming Connector
Software Cable

easier and reduce operate for years
downtime before failure
Too much work required in connecting
wires
Difficulty with changes or replacements
Difficulty in finding errors, requiring
skillful work force
SCADA stands for Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition.
SCADA refers to a system that collects data from various sensors
at a factory, plant or in other remote locations and then sends this
data to a central computer which then manages and controls the
data. SCADA focuses on gathering and circulating the right
amount of system information to the right person or computer
within the right amount of time so that creative solutions are made
Possible.
