You must have heard about PLC, which is also known as a programmable logic controller to replace a relay logic system. You will be amazed to know that the automotive industry adopted PLCs for the revision of the software that replaced requiring control panels that are used during the changing of production models. You might be wondering what use to happen before the use of PLC. So let me tell you that before the use of PLC the process to change or update any sort of facility use to be very expensive for the new model each year. The reason behind it is that every single wire has to be individually rewired.
It has been noticed that melsec Series PLCs meet the system’s requirements in addition to the prospective control system. It should be imperative to understand its functions.
What Are The PLC Functions And System Tools?
The primary function of the PLCs is to electrically rewire the hard-wired control panel, which usually required a hundred, and even thousands of relays are replaced individually. The input data to the PLCs are given with the help of a sensor, switches, and also the control to drive various machines as well as devices. You will find that the advantage, as well as the function of PLC, is now found in the industries, which are beyond automotive manufacturing, mining, food processing, and environment control.
Nowadays, PLCs have expanded from the basic replacement of the logic circuit to the more advanced one using the PIP implementation. To reduce the training required for the technician, PLCs are programmed to look like a schematic design of the relay logic. Now you get an enhanced solution by the wide lineup of network systems and PLCs. The MELSEC Q series PLCs are the first of their kind to incorporate multiple CPU architectures. You will be amazed to know that the presence of CPUs controls multiple operations, the performance as well as scalability of the production system increases in the best possible manner.
There are other series of controllers available too, and you need to select one based on your needs and applications. You need to keep one thing in your mind that all the series of program controller has its unique characteristic. For instance, the MELSEC iQ-R series has a high-speed system bus, which in turn helps to improve productivity.
