ABSTRACT

A constant demand for better and more efficient manufacturing and process machinery has led to the requirement
for higher quality and reliability in control techniques. With the availability of intelligent, compact solid state
electronic devices, it has been possible to provide control systems that can reduce maintenance, down time and
improve productivity to a great extend. By installing efficient and user friendly industrial electronics systems for
manufacturing machinery or processors, one can obtain a precise, reliable and prolific means for generating
quality product.

Considering the varied demand and increasing competition, one has to provide for flexible manufacturing
process. One of the latest techniques in solid state controls that offers flexible and efficient operation to the user
is PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLERS.
The basic idea behind these programmable controllers was to provide

means to eliminate high cost associated

with inflexible, conventional relay controlled system Programmable controllers offer a system with computer
flexibility
