This document outlines a student project on industrial automation using programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It discusses using PLCs and human-machine interfaces (HMIs) to automate industrial processes. The project aims to learn PLC programming languages and simulate and implement PLC control of automation hardware. Team members will research PLCs and HMIs, present project updates, and assist with hardware implementation and programming. The project intends to demonstrate benefits of PLCs like reliability, troubleshooting ease, and size reduction over conventional relay control systems.
