Automation may falls in many categories. One of the most widely used in
factories worldwide is the programmable logic controller (PLC). A few
examples are such as controlling the fire and gas system, safeguarding the
plant process, controlling machines, car factory assembly lines, etc.
There are several different types of interfaces that are used when people
need to interact with the programmable logic controller to configure it or work
with it. This may take the form of simple lights or switches or text displays, or
for more complex systems, a laptop running any Windows version can also be
used.
The diagram below shows 2 drawings with the same function but with 2
different concepts.
From Fig.1, the coil will energized when there is a closed loop between the 2
terminals i.e. the (+) and (-) terminals of the battery. We can recreate the
simple circuit into the PLC ladder logic diagram (stated in Fig.2). When the
PLC program is executed, it will give an instruction to activate SW1 and SW2,
which will therefore, energized the coil.
