    A programmable logic controller (PLC) is an industrial digital computer used to control manufacturing processes like assembly lines or robotic devices. PLCs were first developed for the automobile industry to provide flexible, easy to program controllers to replace hard-wired relays and timers. They have since been widely adopted as rugged and reliable automation controllers for harsh environments. PLCs are considered "hard" real-time systems because they must respond to inputs within a limited time to avoid unintended operations.

    (PLC), OR PROGRAMMABLE

    CONTROLLER

    (PLC), OR PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER


    (PLC),or programmable controller is an industrial digital computer which has
    been ruggedizedand adapted for the control of manufacturing processes, such as assembly lines,
    or robotic devices, or any activity that requires high reliability control and ease of programming
    and process fault diagnosis.
    They were first developed in the automobile industry to provide flexible, ruggedised and easily
    programmable controllers to replace hard-wired relays, timers and sequencers. Since then they
    have been widely adopted as high-reliability automation controllers suitable for harsh
    environments. A PLC is an example of a "hard" real-time system since output results
    must be produced in response to input conditions within a limited time, otherwise
    unintended operation will result.
