In the development of the modern mechanical automation technology， microelectronics technology can be applied. With the application of PLC， touch screen and numerical control device， the automation of these mechanical equipments can be improved， and also computers advantages such as powerful functions， flexible programming and high generality and relays simple control， powerful anti-jamming ability and low price can be integrated together. Therefore， this is a new way of low cost and high efficiency to develop and apply mechanical automation technology. 　　Plate shearing machine is a type of processing equipment which cuts off plates and simultaneously implements automatic counting according to processing requirements， and has been widely used in plate processing system. In a plate shearing machine， the processes such as plate material length testing， plate material feed， compression， feeding， blanking， and length adjustment have to be accurately implemented according to certain steps. Moreover， the plates of different length， different thickness and different material as well as the requirements on each action stroke， order and tool position are different. Therefore， the requirement on the automation， flexibility， and reliability of plate shearing machine control system is very high. Such a high requirement cant be satisfied by the traditional relay contactor cont
