8. A PLC is a solid state / industrial computer that performs discrete or sequential logic in a factory environment. The PLC is programmed interface between the field input elements like limit switches, sensors, push button and the final control elements like actuator, solenoid/control valves, drives, hooters etc. PLC consist of : Input Module CPU with Processor and Program memory Output module Bus System Power Supply

9. Programming/ Communication Device Central Processing Unit (CPU) Input Circuits Output Circuits Memory program Data Power supply Optical isolation PLC system

10. CPU Power Supply I/O Modules

11. 11 Historical Background The Hydramatic Division of the General Motors Corporation specified the design criteria for the first programmable controller in 1968 Their primary goal - To eliminate the high costs associated with inflexible, relay- controlled systems.

12. Programmable Controller Development 1968 -Programmable concept developed 1969 -Hardware CPU controller, with logic instructions, 1 K of memory and 128 I/O points 1974 -Use of several (multi) processors within a PLC - timers and counters; arithmetic operations; 12 K of memory and 1024 I/O points 1976 -Remote input/output systems introduced 1977 -Microprocessors - based PLC introduced

13. Cost effective for controlling complex systems. Flexible and can be reapplied to control other systems quickly and easily. Computational abilities allow more sophisticated control. Trouble shooting aids make programming easier and reduce downtime. Reliable components make these likely to operate for years before failure. ADVANTAGES

14. Too much work required in connecting wires. Difficulty with changes or replacements. Difficulty in finding errors; requiring skillful work force. DISADVANTAGES
