The PLC usua-lly uses a microprocessor. The program can often control complex seq-uencing and is often written by engineers. The program is stored in battery-backed memory1 and/or EEPROMs2. PLCs have the basic structure, shown in Figure 13-1. From the figure, the PLC has four main units: the Programme memory, the Data memory, the Output devices and the Input devices. The Programme memory is used for storing the instructions for the lo-gical control sequence. The status of switches, interlocks, past values of data and other working data is stored in the Data memory. Section II Text The main differences from other computers are the special input/output arrangements. These connect the PLC to sensors3 and actuators4. PLCs read limit switches, temperature indicators and the positions of complex positioning systems. Some even use machine vision.On the ac-tuator side, PLCs drive any kind of electric motor, pneumatic or hydra-ulic cylinders or d
