GENERAL INFORMATION
Automatic
Process which run fully controlled by a
controlling device on its own , without any
human interrupt.
Semi automatic
Process that uses both combination of
machines and human control .
Manual
Process which is controlled over only by a
human.

WHAT IS AUTOMATION ?
Automationorautomatic control, is the
use of control systems (PLC)for operating
equipments.
For controlling machinery, processes in
factories, boilers and heat treating ovens,
switching in telephone networks, steering and
stabilization of ships, aircraft and other
applications with minimal or reduced human
intervention.
Some processes have been completely
automated. Now days.

WHAT IS A PLC ?
PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)
A PLC works by looking at its Field inputs and
depending on their state, and the user entered
program, turns on/off Field outputs.

I/O MODULES
Input and output (I/O) modules
connect the PLC to sensors and
actuators.
Provide isolation for the lowvoltage, low-current signals that
the PLC uses internally from the
higher-power electrical circuits
required by most sensors and
actuators.
Wide range of I/O modules
available
including:
digital
(logical) I/O modules and analog
(continuous) I/O modules.

OUTPUTS MODULES
External power supplies are connected to the output card and the
card will switch the power on or off for each output.
Relay are the most flexible output devices. They are capable of
switching both AC and DC outputs. But, they are slower, cost more,
and they will wear out after millions of cycles.

ANALOG INPUTS/OUTPUTS
Analog input cards convert continuous signals
via a A/D converter into discrete values for the
PLC
Analog output cards convert digital values in
then PLC to continuous signals via a D/A
converter.
Resolution can be important in choosing an
applicable card
Example, for a temperature input of 0 to 100
degrees C
For 8 bit resolution the value in the PLC is 0 to 128
www.prolifictraining.com
For 12 bit resolution
the value in the PLC is 0 to 4095
