Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)
A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a specialized computer used in industrial settings to automate machinery and processes. It reads inputs from sensors and switches, processes this information based on pre-programmed instructions, and then sends signals to control devices like motors, valves, or alarms. PLCs are reliable, durable, and designed to operate continuously in challenging environments, making them essential for ensuring efficient, safe, and precise operation of manufacturing and automation systems.
