3. Moduler Type PLC
• This type of PLC permits
multiple expansion through
“modules”, hence referred to
as Modular PLC.
• I/O components can be
increased.
• It is easier to use because
each component is
independent of each other.

4. Compact Type PLC
Within a single case, there would be many modules.
It has a fixed number of I/O modules and external I/O cards.
So, it does not have the capability to expand the modules.
Every input and output would be decided by the manufacturer.
PLC are divided into three types based on output namely Relay
output, Transistor output, and Triac Output PLC.
The relay output type is best suited for both AC and DC output
devices. Transistor output type PLC uses switching operations
and used inside microprocessors.
