Chapter 2, Problem 38RQ
Program Plan Intro
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC):
- Programmable Logic Controller (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.
Central Processing Unit (CPU):
- CPU is known to be the central part or component of a computer system.
- CPU is also known as processor.
- The process refers to an electronic circuit within a computer.
- It carries out the program instructions for performing basic arithmetic, logic, controlling, and I/O operations.
Memory:
- Memory refers to a computer part which holds data as well as instructions for processing.
- It is also known as primary storage, primary memory, main memory, Random Access Memory (RAM), and internal storage.
- Almost all types of memory stores the data when the computer is turned on and destroys the data when the machine is turned off.
