Program Plan Intro

Programmable Logic Controller (PLC):

  • PLC is a specialized computer used in industrial segments to control machines and process.
  • PLC is program that consists of a set of instructions which resembles the controlling functions needed to perform specific tasks.
  • The function of PLC is similar to that of a relay and hence, in an industrial segment a relay is greatly replaced by a suitable PLC.
  • When compared to general Personal Computer (PC), a PLC is available in small and tiny sizes.
  • The basic architecture of a PLC consists of an input-output interface module and a small Central Processing Unit (CPU) that runs by controlling programming language.

Control system:

  • The main function of control system is to manage, command, direct, or regulate the behavior of the system with the use of control loops.
  • A feedback controller is used for controlling a process or operation automatically for continuously modulated control.
  • The two different classes of control action are open loop and closed loop.
