10. Programmable Logic Controllers
Definition:
A digitally operating electronic system, designed for use in an
industrial environment, which uses memory for the internal storage of
user-oriented instructions for implementing specific functions such as
logic, sequencing, timing, counting and arithmetic to control, through
digital or analog inputs and outputs, various types of machines or
processes.

What is a PLC?
A programmable logic controller (PLC) is a specialized computer to
perform logic functions for machine control.
PLCs are used to implement logic functions such as not allowing a
drill press to start unless the operator has one hand on each of the
two start switches.
Such control functions used to be implemented using relays. PLCs
revolutionized this by allowing the control logic to be implemented
using software.
