    The document discusses the key components and operating cycle of a programmable logic controller (PLC). A PLC has memory areas for storing programs and data and follows a four step operating cycle: input scan to read inputs, program scan to process logic, output scan to control outputs, and housekeeping for communications and diagnostics. The operating cycle continually repeats these steps in a loop.

    Choosing PLC Hardware

    PLC Memory areas


    PLC Memory
    PLC Operating Cycle
    PLC Operating Cycle

     Four Steps in the PLC Operations


    • Input Scan
    • Scan the state of the Inputs
    • Program Scan
    • Processes the program logic
    • Output Scan
    • Energize/de-energize the outputs
    • Housekeeping
    • This step includes communications, Internal ,Diagnostics, etc.

    • The steps are continually repeated - processed in a loop
