INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMABLE CONTROL
2
DEFINITION
•Programmable logic controllers, also called programmable controllers or PLCs, are solid-state members of the computer family, using integrated circuits instead of electromechanical devices to implement control functions.
•They are capable of storing instructions, such as sequencing, timing, counting, arithmetic, data manipulation, and communication, to control industrial machines and processes.

• The control system had to be price competitive.
• It had to be capable of sustaining an industrial environment.
• The I/O interfaces had to be easily replaceable.
• The controller had to be designed in modular form, so that subassemblies could be removed easily for replacement or repair.
• It needed the capability to pass data to a central system.
• The system had to be reusable.
• The method used to program it had to be simple.

TODAY’S PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLERS
• Faster scan times.
• Small, low-cost.
• High-density input/output (I/O) systems.
• Intelligent, microprocessor-based.
• Mechanical design improvements.
• Special interfaces.
•Peripheral equipment has improved operator interface techniques.
