What is PLC

What Is PLCs Programmable Controller (Programmable Controller) is abbreviated as PLC. It is a new type of industrial automatic control device developed on the basis of microprocessor, integrating computer technology, automatic control technology and communication technology. With the development of computer technology, programmable controllers, as general industrial control computers, have become increasingly powerful and cost-effective, and … Read more

PLC Working Principle and PLC Scan Cycle

PLC Working Principle & scan cycle

PLC is an industrial control computer, and its working principle is based on the computer working principle, that is, it is completed by executing a user program reflecting the control requirements. Basic PLC working principle PLC takes microprocessor as the core and has many characteristics of microcomputer, but its working method is very different from microcomputer. … Read more

PLC Advantages and Disadvantages

PLC Advantage and disadvantage

High reliability and strong anti-interference ability. Industrial production generally has high requirements on the reliability of control equipment, and must have a strong anti-interference ability. PLC can work reliably in harsh environments, with an average trouble-free time of more than tens of thousands of hours, which has been recognized as one of the most reliable … Read more
