PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER

PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER


Before the PLC, control, sequencing, and safety interlock logic for

manufacturing automobiles was mainly composed of relays, cam timers,

drum sequencers, and dedicated closed-loop controllers. Since these

could number in the hundreds or even thousands, the process for

updating such facilities for the yearly model change-over was very time

consuming and expensive, as electricians needed to individually rewire

relays to change the logic.
