INTRODUCTION OF PLC

PLC is a solid state device or mini industrial computer that performs discrete or sequential logics in a factory environment. It was originally developed to replace mechanical relay, timers, counters. PLCS are successfully used to execute complicated control operations.
Its purpose to monitor crucial parameters & adjust process operation accordingly

5v dc Inverter

Start Stop S/W

Current limiting resister Opto coupler

O/P high

Com

In case one diode is parallel to another diode in opposite polarity. It can act as source or sink both

P L C COMPONENTS
The PLC is programmed interface between the field I/p element like limit switches, sensors, push button and the final control elements like actuator, solenoid/control valves, drives, hooters etc

DISCRETE INPUT

Discrete type input modules recognize either ON or OF Conditions. Power Supply is 24 Volt DC & 230Volt AC
