PLC

A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a specialized computer used to automate industrial processes. It monitors inputs like sensors and switches, processes the data based on a programmed set of instructions, and then controls outputs such as motors, valves, or lights. PLCs are reliable and designed to operate in harsh environments, making them essential for tasks like manufacturing, assembly lines, and building systems. They enable precise, automated control of complex machinery, improving efficiency, safety, and consistency without the need for manual intervention.
