Programmable Logic Controller

A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a specialized computer used in industrial settings to automate machinery and processes. It continuously monitors input devices, like sensors or switches, and makes decisions based on pre-programmed instructions to control output devices, such as motors or valves. Think of a PLC as the brain of a machine, enabling it to perform tasks automatically and efficiently. It can be reprogrammed easily for different applications, making it highly versatile in manufacturing and automation environments. PLCs improve productivity, safety, and precision in various industries.
