Programmable Controllers Theory and Implementation

This document provides an overview of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), including: - A definition of PLCs, their historical background, principles of operation, and advantages over other control systems. PLCs were developed in the late 1960s to replace relay logic in industrial control applications. - Explanations of number systems and codes used in PLC programming like binary, hexadecimal, and register word formats. PLC programs use ladder logic and are written in languages based on these number systems. - Concepts of binary logic, logic functions, Boolean algebra, and logic contact symbology used to represent circuits in ladder diagrams programmed on PLCs. - Descriptions of basic PLC
