What is PLC?
PLC is a digital computer designed for multiple inputs and output arrangements, extended temperature ranges, immunity to electrical noise, and resistance to vibration and impact. A PLC is an example of a real time system
and developed by Modicon as a relay replacer for General Motors. The first PLC, model name 084, was invented by Morley in 1969 who is considered to be the "father" of the PLC. The first commercial successful PLC, the 184, was introduced in 1973 which was designed by Michael Greenberg.

Programming PLC:
Starting of Motor:
Reliability. Flexibility in programming and reprogramming. Cost effective for controlling complex systems. Small physical size, shorter project time. High speed of operation.
Disadvantages of PLCs
PLC devices are proprietary. Fixed Circuit Operations. PLCs manufacturers offer only closed architectures.
1) Robots manufacturing and control 2) Car park control 3) Train control station system 4) Food processing 5) Materials handling 6)Machine tools 7)Conveyer system etc.
