Programmable Logic Control (PLC) systems are the core of most industrial control systems that drive modern manufacturing. In our Control.com video tutorials, we share information, experience, and tips for working with PLCs—from the hardware, to the wiring, to the programming logic of inputs, outputs, and communication processes.
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), sometimes called Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs), are a combination of hardware components and software programs that drive modern industrial operations. Before investigating the connections to the outside world and the driving logic, it is critical to discuss the hardware that is commonly found across all makes and models of PLCs.
Programmable logic controllers receive vital information about the manufacturing process and use that data to generate logical output signals to the final control elements. Obtaining the information from buttons, switches, and sensors is naturally the first step in this control system process.
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are responsible for driving motors, solenoids, relays, and indicators for nearly infinite configurations of industrial facilities. Many of these devices are discrete, meaning they only turn on and off. Watch this video from control.com's director of engineering to learn more!
Our motto here at www.Control.com and EETech is “Helping Engineers Engineer the Future.” But that future is difficult to achieve when so many quality engineers are out of work, especially while so many great companies are having a hard time finding top engineering talent.
