Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)
PLC features and applications
The purpose of the devices is the automation of production processes, the execution of actions in production without the participation of people. PLCs are one of the types of computers that can be used in various conditions, including unfavorable ones.
The working cycle includes:
- Collecting incoming data;
- Execution of a program according to an algorithm set by a person;
- Signal transmission to the executive system;
- Other auxiliary functions (information preparation, diagnostics, etc.).
Application of programmable logic controllers
You can buy a PLC for use in:
- Industrial automation to perform an algorithm of actions in a set sequence. The signals from the equipment are sent directly to the PLC, which processes them and performs its functions.
- Ensuring the automation of home systems – to save resources, ensure the management of important processes, a Smart home is automatically connected.
- Robotics for performing complex tasks according to algorithms, performing long cycles of specified operations.
