PLCs: The Versatile Backbone of Industrial Automation
Introduction: The world of industrial automation would not be possible without Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). PLCs are the backbone of automation systems, providing real-time control and monitoring of processes in various industries. In this article, we will explore the history, components, working principle, benefits, applications, advancements, safety measures, and future of PLCs. History of PLCs: The first PLC was developed by Dick Morley in the late 1960s for General Motors Corporation. It was called the "Programmable Controller" and was used to replace hard-wired relay systems, which were costly, time-consuming to make changes, and prone to errors. Since then, PLC technology…
