Programmable Logic Controllers

The document discusses the history and development of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It notes that PLCs were developed in the 1960s as an alternative to hard-wired relay-based control systems. The document outlines the key components of a typical PLC, including a processor unit, power supply, input/output section, memory unit, communications interface, and programming device. It also lists some common PLC programming languages like ladder logic, function block diagrams, and sequential function charts.

RELAYS

• Relays Transform a Control Signal into a Control Action


• Relays Provide:
• Isolation Between Input and Output
• Leverage (Small Signal Can Control Large Action)
• Automation (Minimize Human Interaction with a Control Process)
TYPES OF RELAYS : BASED ON POLES AND THROWS
PRACTICE 1
• GATES USING RELAY LOGIC?
WHAT IS PLC?

• A Programmable Logic Controller, or PLC, is a ruggedized computer used for


industrial automation. These controllers can automate a specific process,
machine function, or even an entire production line.
PLC

A typical PLC can be divided into 6 components:


• Processor unit
• Power supply
• Input/output section
• Memory unit
• Communications interface
• Programming device
PLC ARCHITECTURE
• ISOLTION BARRIER
