The PLC : a logical development
نویسندگان
چکیده
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) have been used to control industrial processes and equipment for over 40 years, having their first commercially recognised application in 1969. Since then there have been enormous changes in the design and application of PLCs, yet developments were evolutionary rather than radical. The flexibility of the PLC does not confine it to industrial use and it has been used for disparate non-industrial control application. This article reviews the history, development and industrial applications of the PLC.

Two Diagnostic Models for Plc Controlled Flexible Manufacturing Systems
The control of flexible manufacturing systems (FMS’s) is generally characterised by logical and sequential functions under the auspices of a programmable logic controller (PLC). Operational faults associated with control processes are often confusing to maintenance personnel at workshop level. This has resulted in the development of automatic diagnosis techniques. In this paper two generic diag...

متن کاملImproving Code Quality in PLC Programming
In the last decades state of the art software technology has transformed extremely. Programming languages and paradigms tended to turn away from low level codes and from hardware details to focus on high level concepts like interactions of objects or service oriented solutions. Still low level programming is widely used, especially in the automotive industry. The automation of electromechanical...

متن کاملNEW CONCEPT IN LEANNESS DEVELOPMENT AND ASSESSMENT IN PLANT LIFE CYCLE (PLC)
At the last decade of the 20th century, Womack et. Al introduced Lean concept to the industrial world. Since 1990 up to now, existed studies mostly have focused on lean production in the step of manufacturing, but in this research leanness concept has developed in the plant life cycle. In this paper leanness concept will be described as elimination of wastes in the phases of investment, plant d...
