A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is an industrial digital computer designed to control manufacturing processes, such as assembly lines, robotic devices, or any activity that requires high reliability, ease of programming, and fault diagnosis. PLCs are used extensively in factory automation because they can withstand harsh environments including temperature extremes, electrical noise, and physical impact. They operate by reading inputs from devices like sensors and switches, processing these inputs based on a user-created program, and then driving outputs to execute control commands for machinery. The programming is generally done using ladder logic or function block diagrams, making it accessible for engineers without extensive programming knowledge. PLCs enhance productivity, ensure safety, and offer flexibility in manufacturing processes.
