    The document introduces programmable logic controllers (PLCs), which were developed in the late 1960s to offer the same functionality as relay logic systems in a programmable, reusable, and reliable way. PLCs were created to replace hardwired control panels by being solid-state, easy to modify, programmable by plant electricians, and able to function in industrial environments. PLCs use a programmable memory to store instructions and perform functions like on/off control, timing, counting, sequencing, arithmetic, and data handling to control machines and processes.

    Industrial Control Systems

    Fall 2006

    Lecture – Introduction to PLC's MME 486 – Fall 2006 1 of 47


    • Hardwired panels were very time consuming
    to wire, debug and change.
    • GM identified the following requirements for
    computer controllers to replace hardwired
    panels.
    – Solid-state not mechanical
    – Easy to modify input and output devices
    – Easily programmed and maintained by plant
    electricians
    – Be able to function in an industrial environment

    Lecture – Introduction to PLC's MME 486 – Fall 2006 2 of 47


    The First Programmable Logic
    Controllers (PLCs)
    • Introduced in the late 1960’s
    • Developed to offer the same functionality as
    the existing relay logic systems
    • Programmable, reusable and reliable
    – Could withstand a harsh industrial environment
    – They had no hard drive, they had battery backup
    – Could start in seconds
    – Used Ladder Logic for programming

    Lecture – Introduction to PLC's MME 486 – Fall 2006 3 of 47


    • A programmable logic controller (PLC)
    is a specialized computer used to
    control machines and process.
    • It uses a programmable memory to
    store instructions and specific functions
    that include On/Off control, timing,
    counting, sequencing, arithmetic, and
    data handling
    Lecture – Introduction to PLC's MME 486 – Fall 2006 4 of 47
    • Flexible
    • Faster response time
    • Less and simpler wiring
    • Solid-state - no moving parts
    • Modular design - easy to repair and expand
    • Handles much more complicated systems
    • Sophisticated instruction sets available
    • Allows for diagnostics “easy to troubleshoot”
    • Less expensive
