Program Plan Intro

a.

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 control programming language.

PLC counter:

  • A counter is a PLC instruction which counts up or down when the input transfers from an off state (false) to an on state (true).
  • The three different types of counters instructions are as follows:
    • Up counter
    • Down counter
    • Combined counter
