Compact I/O
Modular PLCs
Mix N Match Components
Processors, Power Supplies and I/O are plugged into a rack or chassis Available in Small, Medium, and Large platforms Flexibility results in higher costs when compared to packaged
Distributed
Rely on communications for EVERYTHING All I/O is connected to the processor through a High Speed data link. Typically found on larger (medium and large) PLCs. For certain applications this type of form factor is very advantageous. Usually higher cost for hardware, but much lower cost for system integration. RIO (Remote I/O), DeviceNet are examples of distributed control.
Cost

Operation of Mixer
Solenoid 1
On = Sol 3 is off, and Motor is off, and Sensor 2 is off, and Auto Switch is on Off = Sol 3 is on, or Motor is on, or Sensor 2 is on
Solenoid 3
On = Sol 1 is off, and Sol 2 is off, and Motor has run for 30 sec. Off = Solenoid 3 has been on for 60 sec.

Housekeeping
Internal checks on memory, speed and operation. Service any communication requests, etc.
Input Scan
The status of external inputs (terminal block voltage) is written to the Input image (Input file).
Output Scan
The Output Image data is transferred to the external output circuits, turning the output devices ON or OFF.
Program Scan
Each ladder rung is scanned using the data in the Input file. The resulting status (Logic being solved) is written to the Output file (Output Image).
