About PLC
A programmable logic controller (PLC) is an industrial control product that regulates various automation and mechanical processes in manufacturing plants. A PLC controls various automation applications in a plant by maintaining direct connectivity with various field devices such as sensors, transmitters, and actuators. A PLC receives commands and signals from field devices and other industrial systems through a control system communication protocol. It uses various programming languages such as ladder diagrams, functional block diagrams, and instruction lists to regulate processes.
