Programmable logic controller, better known as PLC, plays a role in almost every automated manufacturing process. PLC programmable electronic device capable of almost infinite combinations of relays, contacts, and the timing circuits used to control industrial equipment of all types and sizes. Essentially, this is computer designed to withstand the harsh conditions of production. It was designed to replace a complex system of relays, cam switches, electromechanical and other schemes.
