Introduction to PLC

What is PLC?
It is a special form of microprocessor-based controller that
uses a programmable memory to store instructions and to
implement functions.
It controls machines and processes.
It is designed to be operated by engineers with perhaps a
limited knowledge of computers and computing languages.

Why PLC?
Less wiring
Wiring between devices and relay contacts are done in the PLC
program.
Easier and faster to make changes.
Downtime is reduced.
Compared to computer, PLC:
Rugged and designed to withstand vibrations, temperature,
humidity and noise.
Have interfacing for inputs and outputs already inside the
controller.
Are easily programmed and have an easily understood
programming language which is primarily concerned with logic
and switching operations.

PLC Size
SMALL
it covers units with up to 128 I/Os and memories up to 2 Kbytes.
These PLCs are capable of providing simple to advance levels or machine
controls.

MEDIUM
They have up to 2048 I/Os and memories up to 32 Kbytes.

LARGE
The most sophisticated units of the PLC family.
They have up to 8192 I/Os and memories up to 750 Kbytes.
They can control individual production processes or entire plant.

HW#1
Look for a mechatronics system daily used around you, then
identify what kind of sensor(s) and actuators(s) implemented in
the system. Explore the internet to know how the sensor(s) and
actuators(s) work. Explain briefly their working principle on a
piece of paper.
Submit your homework at Dynamics Laboratory before
September 7th 2015 3 pm, and see you next week.

PLC
How PLCs replace wiring.
PLC Programming.
Main PLC components and their working principle.
