The automation of machines, process control and conveyor lines has resulted in the ever-increasing consistency of quality, speed and cost savings within complex processes. Consumers have come to expect high standards of quality in the manufactured goods they use, but to an engineer these are the challenges that make the profession interesting. This unit will consider programmable logic controllers (PLCs), control devices which aid the automation of these processes. The capabilities of PLCs have developed over the years, with performance, reliability and operational resilience being key attributes to their continued success. In order to achieve automated monitoring and control, these devices can be used on their own or in conjunction with others through communication systems/links, which are themselves becoming more versatile.
