A PLC Programmable logic controller is a solid state user programmable control system with function to control logic, sequencing, timing, arithmetic data manipulation and counting capabilities. It can be viewed as an industrial computer that has a central processor unit, memory, input/output and a programming device.

FEATURE:  PLCs are evolving and continue to be the best option for a variety of industrial automation applications. Greater programming flexibility and easy, scalability, more memory, smaller sizes, very high speed communication on different networking.

APPLICATION:  PLCs are used more and more as total solution to a batch process in chemical, cement, food and paper industries are sequential in nature, requiring time or event based decisions.

Objective: Making Participants familiar/work with PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) hardware, I/O’s and PLC programming software. Understand the connection between PLC and different I/O’s and also programming language representation in STL, FBD and LAD. Prepare participant for challenging industrial jobs in the automation technology area with help of basic and advance logic application example.
