• What you need to know when specifying a PLC
Agenda

• First Programmable Logic Controllers were designed and


developed by Modicon as a relay replacer for GM and
Landis.
• These controllers eliminated the need for rewiring and
adding additional hardware for each new configuration
of logic.
• The new system drastically increased the functionality of
the controls while reducing the cabinet space that
housed the logic.
• The first PLC, model 084, was invented by Dick Morley
in 1969.
• The first commercial successful PLC, the 184, was
introduced in 1973 which was designed by Michael
Greenberg.
PLC – PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER

A PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER is a solid state


control system that continuously monitors the status of devices
connected as inputs. Based upon a user written program, stored in
memory, it controls the status of devices connected as outputs.

Criteria for Selecting PLC

• Number of logical inputs and outputs


• Memory - Selected based on the size of the program
• Number of special I/O modules: Depends on the application. For
exotic applications, a large number of additional cards may be
required.
• Scan Time: Depending on the size of the program, a larger program
needs shorter scan times. And, the shorter the scan time, the higher
the cost.
• Communications: serial and network connections allow the PLC to be
programmed and to communicate with other PLCs. The needs are
determined by the application.
• Software: the availability of programming software and other tools
determines the ease of programming and debugging.
Applications of PLC

• Whenever automation is desired PLCs are best


suited to meet the task
• Monitor and control production processes,
• Conveyor system,
• Material Handling,
• Railway Track control systems,
• Autonomous Car Parking
