What is a PLC?
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) are often defined as miniature industrial computers that contain hardware and software used to perform control functions. More specifically, a PLC would be used for the automation of industrial electromechanical processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides, or food processing.
They are designed for multiple arrangements of digital and analog inputs and outputs with extended temperature ranges, immunity to electrical noise, and resistance to vibration and impact.
A PLC will consist of two basic sections: the central processing unit (CPU) and the Input/Output (I/O) interface system.
The CPU controls all system activity primarily through its processor and memory system. The CPU consists of a microprocessor, memory chip and other integrated circuits to control logic, monitoring and communications.
The CPU has different operating modes.
Since a PLC is a dedicated controller it will process this one program over and over again. The time it takes for one cycle through the program is called scan time and happens very quickly (in the range of 1/1000th of a second, depending on your program).
The memory in the CPU stores the program while also holding the status of the I/O and providing a means to store values.

Plc I need your handbook.
Yes Iam Interested to PLC,because must have reference source for my student and A very good read. Gives a clear identification of plc programming steps.
A very good read. Gives a clear identification of plc programming steps
Thank you for sending this to me, my reference technical manual
Very good manual. A must have reference source for every technician.
Glad to Reading These Book , TQ EEP
Where is servo control plc ladder program up to various range of Ac &DC motor
hi sir tank you very much . i love this
Please can anybody help me on why I am having a sudden discharge of black smoke and then it disappears and appears again in an on and off scenario from a Biomass boiler which has an ID fan running through a cyclone and also has a static grating with fan being used as a fuel spreader.The FD fan is also being used as part of the process for positive draft.I would appreciate an reply to my email [email protected]
how can i understand betterly PLC.
Very good handbook. thanks
