TECHNICAL COMMUNICATION
The Need for PLCs
 Hardwired panels were very time consuming to wire, debug and
change.
 GM identified the following requirements for computer controllers to
replace hardwired panels.
– Solid-state not mechanical
– Easy to modify input and output devices
– Easily programmed and maintained by plant electricians
– Be able to function in an industrial environment
The First Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)
 Introduced in the late 1960’s
 Developed to offer the same functionality as the existing relay logic
systems
 Programmable, reusable and reliable
– Could start in seconds
– Used Ladder Logic for programming
Programmable Logic Controller
 A programmable logic controller (PLC) is a specialized computer used
to control machines and process.
 It uses a programmable memory to store instructions and specific
functions that include On/Off control, timing, counting, sequencing,
arithmetic, and data handling
Advantages
 Flexible
 Faster response time
 Less and simpler wiring
 Solid-state - no moving parts
 Modular design - easy to repair and expand
PLC Architecture
PLC System
PC Based Control Systems
Advantages :
Lower initial cost
Less proprietary hardware and software required
Straightforward data exchange with other systems
Speedy information processing
Easy customization
PLC Size Classification
Criteria
 Number of inputs and outputs (I/O count)
 Cost
 Physical size
Nano PLC
 Smallest sized PLC
 Handles up to 16 I/O points
Micro PLC
- Handles up to 32 I/O points
PLC Size Classification
Allen-Bradley SLC-500 Family
- Handles up to 960 I/O points
Allen-Bradley PLC-5 Family
Handles several thousand I/O points
