Programmable Logic Controllers
(PLC)
 A modern controller device used extensively for
sequence control today
 PLC is a special purpose industrial microprocessor-
based real-time computing system
 Performs the following functions in the context of
industrial operations :
 Monitor Input/Sensors
 Execute logic, sequencing, timing, counting functions
for Control/Diagnostics
 Drives Actuators/Indicators
 Communicates with other computers
OMRON PLC

SIEMENS PLC
Advantages of PLC over conventional control panels

• Programming the PLC is easier than wiring physical


components; the only wiring required is that of connecting the
I/O terminals.

• The PLC can be reprogrammed using user-friendly


programming devices. Controls must be physically rewired.

• PLCs take up much less space.

• Installation and maintenance of PLCs is easier, and with present


day solid-state technology, reliability is greater.

• The PLC can be connected to a distributed plant automation


system, supervised and monitored.
Advantages of PLC over conventional control panels

• Beyond a certain size and complexity of the


process, a PLC-based system compare favorably
with control panels
• Ability of PLCs to accept digital data in serial,
parallel and network modes imply a drastic
reduction in plant sensor and actuator wirings,
since single cable runs to remote terminal I/O
units can be made. Wiring only need to be made
locally from that point.
• Special diagnostic and maintenance modes for
quick troubleshooting and servicing, without
disrupting plant operations
Applications
Crushing Plant
3-Phase Motor Control
What is PLC?
 A digitally operating electronic apparatus
which uses a programmable memory for
internal storage of instructions
 Implement specific functions, such as logic,
sequencing, timing, counting and arithmetic,
 Control various types of machines or
process through digital or analogue
input/output.
 Handle significant I/O and Communication
activities, bit oriented computing, as well as
normal floating point arithmetic
Traditional concept of PLC

 PLC performs relay equivalent functions

 PLC performs ON/OFF control

 Designed for industrial environment
