What is PLC ?

• A digitally operating electronic apparatus which

uses a programmable memory for internal storage
of instructions.
• Implement specific functions, such as logic,
sequencing, timing, counting and arithmetic.
• Control various types of machines or process
through digital or analogue input/output.

• PLC performs relay equipment function

• PLC performs ON/OFF control
• Designed for industrial environment
