What is the definition of PLC, programmable logic controller

Programmable logic controller, said the English Programmable Controller, called PC. However, due to the personal computer PC is easy and (Personal Computer) confused, so people are still accustomed to using ethernet module plc programmable controller as an abbreviation. Electronic digital computing device operating system, it is a microprocessor core, specifically designed for applications in the industrial field, for it uses programmable memory for storage in its internal implementation of logical, sequential control, timer / counting and arithmetic operations such as operating instructions, and digital or analog input through output interface, control of all types of machinery or production processes. analog output plc is the product of computer technology with traditional relay contactor control technology, which overcomes the wiring relay contactor control system complex mechanical contact, low reliability, high power, versatility and flexibility shortcomings of the poor, full advantage of the microprocessor, and take care of operation and maintenance personnel to the site electrical skills and habits, especially PLC programming does not require specialized knowledge of computer programming languages, but with a set of relay ladder based simple instruction form, so that the image of the user programming, intuitive and easy to learn; debugging and troubleshooting is also very convenient. After the user to purchase the desired analog input plc, just follow the prompts manual, do a small amount of wiring and easy user programming work, it can flexibly and easily be applied to production practice PLC.
