    Programmable logic control or PLC is the most commonly used industrial automation technique. It originated from computerized versions of relay control systems used to control manufacturing processes. A PLC allows controlling an automated process through a programmable technique called ladder logic. PLCs have advantages like gaining complete control of manufacturing processes, improving quality and accuracy, and increasing productivity. A PLC is a user friendly computer that monitors process parameters and adjusts operations accordingly through an operator-friendly programming interface.

    Introduction to PLC:

    Programmable logic control or PLC is the most commonly used industrial automation
    technique in the world. It is universally applied for factory automation, process control and
    manufacturing systems. Programmable logic control originated from the creation of
    computerized versions of relay control systems used to control manufacturing and chemical
    process systems. The programming is done using a special technique called ladder logic,
    which allows sequences of logical actions to be set up, inter-linked and timed. A standard
    task in logic control is batch control and sequencing in a process system. PLC allows as
    controlling an automated process. Automation
    1. Gain complete control of manufacturing process.
    2. Achieve helps a manufacturing facility to- consistency in manufacturing
    3. Improve quality & accuracy
    4. Work in difficult or hazardous environments
    5. Increase productivity
    6. Shorten the time to market
    7. Lower the cost of quality, scrap & rework
    8. Offer greater product variety
    9. Quality charge over from one product to another
    10. Control inventory
    A PLC is a user friendly, microprocessor specialized computer that carries out control
    functions of many types and levels of complexity. Its purpose is to monitor crucial process
    parameters and adjust process operations accordingly. It can be programmed, controlled and
    operated by a person unskilled in operating computers. Essentially, a PLC's operator draws
    the lines and devices of ladder diagrams with a keyboard onto a display screen. The
    resulting drawing is converted into computer machine language and run as a user program.

    Architecture of PLC:

    Basic Structure of PLC

    PLC scan cycle :


    A PLC works by continually scanning a program. We can think of this scan cycle as
    consisting of 3 important steps. There are typically more than 3 but we can focus on the
    important parts and not worry about the others. Typically the others are checking the system
    and updating the current internal counter and timer values.

    PLC operation

    Advantage of PLC:
    Programmable Logic Controllers have been gaining popularity on the factory floor and will
    probably remain predominant for some time to come. Most of this is because of the
    advantages they offer. With the growth in technology PLCs are now capable of advanced
    data manipulations, communications and process controls. Benefits of using PLC in
    industries are
    1. The PLC is a hardened industrial computer designed to withstand the harsh
    factory environment.
    2. PLSs is reusable they contain a changeable program that eliminators extensive
    and component changes.
    3. PLCs offer easy troubleshooting
    4. PLCs feature easy installation and small size.
    Some of the used Instructions:
    Examine if Closed (XIC)
    Use the XIC instruction in your ladder to determine if a bit is on. When the instruction is
    executed, if the bit addressed is on (1), then the instruction is evaluated as true. When the
    instruction is executed, if the bit addressed off (0),

    then the instruction is evaluated as false.

    Examine if Open (XIO)


    Use an XIO instruction in your ladder program to determine if a bit is off. When the
    instruction is executed, if the bit addressed is off (0), then the instruction is
    evaluated as true. When the instruction is evaluated as false.

    Timer On-Delay (TON)


    Use the TON instruction to turn an output on or off after the timer has been on for a
    preset time interval. The TON instruction begins to count time base intervals when
    rung conditions become true. As long as rung conditions remain true, the timer
    adjusts its accumulated value (ACC) each evaluation until it reaches the preset
    value (PRE). The accumulated value is reset when rung conditions go false,
    regardless of whether the timer has timed out.
