WHAT IS PLC
A PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER(PLC)
is an industrial computer control system
that continuously monitors the state of
input devices and makes decisions based
upon a custom program to control the state
of output devices.
DEFINITION OF PLC
 A programmable logic controller, PLC, or
programmable controller is a digital
computer used for automation of typically
industrial electromechanical processes, such
as control of machinery on factory assembly
lines, amusement rides, or light fixtures.
PLCs are used in many machines, in many
industries.
WHAT IS AUTOMATION
 Automation or automatic control, is the use
of various control systems for operating
equipment such as machinery, processes in
factories, boilers and heat treating ovens,
switching in telephone networks, steering
and stabilization of ships, aircraft and other
applications with minimal or reduced human
intervention.
AUTOMATION BENEFITS
 Quality and quantity increases also cost of
production decreases.
 Less Wiring require as compare to relay logic.
 Trouble shooting is very easy as compare to
Relay Logic.
SIMATIC
 It is Siemens PLC and related components are
known as simatic.
STEP-5 FAMILY
 Step 5 (Old PLC 1970-1980)
 Always in white colour
 Orange colour EPROM Card. Program written in
EPROM.
 It has bucket for 3.2V cell.
 EPROM program cannot downloaded directly
through cable. But it is downloaded like oven.)
 It cannot online it self.
 It supports A I/O, D I/O.
 Relay logic cannot control A I/O’s.
 It contain fast counters which counts upto 5kHz
STEP-7 FAMILY
