精品 Programmable logic controller Cynthia Cooper From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A programmable logic controller or simply programmable controller is a digital computer used for \o "Automation" automation of industrial processes, such as control of machinery on factory \o "Assembly line" assembly lines. Unlike general-purpose computers, the PLC is designed for multiple inputs and output arrangements, extended temperature ranges, immunity to electrical noise, and resistance to vibration and impact. Programs to control machine operation are typically stored in battery-backed or \o "Non-volatile storage" non-volatile memory. A PLC is an example of a \o "Real time" real time system since output results must be produced in response to input conditions within a bounded time, otherwise unintended operation will result. Features Control panel with PLC (grey elements in the center). The unit consists of separate elements, from left to right; \o "Power supply" power supply, controller, \o "Relay" relay units for input and output. The main difference from other computers is that PLCs are armored for severe condition (dust, moisture, heat, cold, etc) and have the facility for extensive \o "Input/output" input/output (I/O) arrangements. These connect the PLC to \o "Sensor" sensors and \o "Actuator" actuators. PLCs read limit \o "Switch" switches, analog process variables (such as temperature and pressure), and the positions of complex positioning systems. Some even use \o "Machine vision" machine vision. On the actuator side, PLCs operate \o "Electric motor" electric motors, \o "Pneumatic" pneumatic or \o "Hydraulic" hydraulic cylinders, magnetic \o "Relay" relays or \o "Solenoid" solenoids, or analog outputs. The input/output arrangements may be built into a simple PLC, or the PLC may have external I/O modules attached to a computer network that plugs into the PLC. PLCs were invented as replacements for automated systems that would use hun
