WHAT IS PLC (PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER)?

What is a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)? PLC is used to control the function of machine automatically. It is a computerized industrial microprocessor based controller that executes discrete or sequential logic in industrial environment. It was originally developed to replace mechanical relay, timer and counter hence it is also called industrial PLC. A PLC has an integrated programmable microprocessor that is programmed with a dedicated computer language (Ladder Diagram). After writing the PLC program it is downloaded to the non-volatile memory of Programmable Logic Controller directly through a cable connection via Serial or USB ports.
