PLC - Objective Typea

The document is a 10 question quiz about programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It covers topics like the typical programming language used for PLCs (ladder logic), components of a PLC system, how PLCs differ from traditional hardwired control systems by using software programming instead of physical wiring, and the main functions of a PLC's CPU, I/O modules, and communication interfaces. The last question discusses the difference between a PLC and a microcontroller, stating that PLCs are used for industrial automation while microcontrollers are used for other applications like consumer electronics and automotive systems.
