WHAT IS A PLC ?
A PLC is a solid state control system that continuously
monitors the status of devices connected as inputs.
Based upon a user written program, stored in memory, it
controls the status of devices connected as outputs.

DEFINITION OF PLC
A digital electronic device that uses a programmable
memory to store instructions and to implement specific
functions such as logic, sequence, timing, counting and
arithmetic to control machines and process.
A PLC is a computer designed to work in an industrial
environment.
MAJOR COMPONENTS OF COMMON PLC
SYSTEM
MAJOR COMPONENTS OF PLC CONTD….
POWER SUPPLY
It provides the voltage needed to run the primary PLC components.
INPUT MODULES
It accepts and converts signals from sensors into a logic signal.
OUTPUT MODULES
It converts control signal instructions a signal that can be used by
actuators.
PROGRAMMING DEVICE
The programming terminal is used for programming the PLC and
monitoring/sequencing PLCs operation.
PLC OPERATION SEQUENCE
SELF TEST
Testing of its own hardware & software for faults.
CHECK INPUT STATUS
First the PLC takes a look at each I/O to determine if it is on or
off.
EXECUTE PROGRAM
Next the PLC executes the program one instruction at a time.
UPDATE OUTPUT STATUS
Finally the PLC updates the status of the outpts. It updates the
outputs based on which inputs were on during first step.
PLC PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
PLC programming languages refers to the method by
which user communicates information to the PLC.
LADDER LOGIC is the oldest programming language
for PLC.
It is well suited to express Combinational logic.
The main ladder logic symbols represent the elements:
LADDER LOGIC FOR BASIC GATES
ADVANTAGES OF PLC
Realiability
Flexibility in programming and reprogramming.
Cost effective for controlling complex systems.
Small physical size.
High speed of operation.
Ability to communicate with computer systems in
plant.
Ease of maintenance.
Reduced space.
Energy saving.
APPLICATIONS OF PLC
Whenever automation is desired the PLCs are best
suited to meet the task.
PLCs were originally used to substitute the switching
relay networks used in industrial applications, but
now they can be used to implement other tasks such
as timing, delaying counting etc.
Some examples of industries using PLCs are:
Food/ Beverage
Material Handling
Robot manufacturing and control
Conveyor System etc.
