Programming Devices

A PLC is a digital computer used for automation of industrial processes like factory assembly lines or amusement park rides. PLCs can be programmed through devices like a programming console or PC. Ladder logic is used to program PLCs and resembles relay circuit diagrams with rungs containing inputs, outputs, and logic connections flowing from left to right between vertical power rails.
