PLC Programming

Description

PLC Programming refers to the process of designing, coding, and configuring a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to control automated industrial processes. PLCs are specialized digital computers used for monitoring inputs, making decisions based on programmed logic, and controlling outputs to automate machinery and production lines. PLC programming ensures precision, reliability, and efficiency in operations, making it a cornerstone of modern industrial automation. The process of PLC programming involves creating ladder logic, function block diagrams, structured text, or sequential function charts, depending on the complexity of the application. It allows industries to control machinery, monitor production processes, manage safety interlocks, and integrate with other systems like SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) and HMI (Human Machine Interface).
