PLC COURSE MUMBAI
A PROGRAMMABLE
LOGIC CONTROLLER (PLC) is an industrial computer control system that
continuously monitors the state of input devices and makes decisions based upon
a custom program to control the state of output devices.
Almost any
production line, machine function, or process can be greatly enhanced using
this type of control system. However, the biggest benefit in using a PLC is the
ability to change and replicate the operation or process while collecting and
communicating vital information.
Another
advantage of a PLC
system is that it is modular. That is, you can
mix and match the types of Input and Output devices to best suit your
application.
While Ladder
Logic is the most commonly used PLC programming language, it is not the only
one. The following table lists of some of languages that are used to program a
PLC.

(LD) Traditional ladder logic is graphical programming language. Initially
programmed with simple contacts that simulated the opening and closing of
relays, Ladder Logic programming has been expanded to include such functions as
counters, timers, shift registers, and math operations.
A programmable logic
controller, PLC, or programmable controller is a digital computer used for automation of typically industrial electromechanical processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement
rides, or light
fixtures. PLCs are used in many machines, in many
industries. PLCs are designed for multiple arrangements of digital and analog
inputs and outputs, extended temperature ranges, immunity to electrical noise, and resistance to vibration and impact. Programs to
control machine operation are typically stored in battery-backed-up or non-volatile memory. A PLC is an example of a "hard" real-time system since output results must be produced in response
to input conditions within a limited time, otherwise unintended operation will
result.
Before the PLC, control, sequencing, and safety interlock logic for
manufacturing automobiles was mainly composed of relays, cam
timers, drum
sequencers, and dedicated closed-loop controllers.
Since these could number in the hundreds or even thousands, the process for
updating such facilities for the yearly model change-over was very time consuming and expensive, as electricians needed to individually rewire the relays to change their
operational characteristics.
