more production by utilising their existing assets and man power. This can happen when one can effectively utilize his present existence with modern facilities. Which can be easily achieved by implementing automation process in the Industry.

WHAT IS A PLC ??
A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC for
short) is simply a special computer device used for industrial control systems. They are used in many industries such as oil refineries, manufacturing lines, conveyor systems and so on. Where ever there is a need to control devices, the PLC provides a flexible way to "softwire" the components together.
WHY PLC
??
systems that would use hundreds or thousands of relays, timers, and drum sequencers.
Often, a single PLC can be programmed to replace
thousands of relays.
Programmable controllers were initially adopted by
the automotive manufacturing industry, where software revision replaced the re-wiring of hard-wired control panels when production models changed.
BENEFITS OF A PLC?
PLCs are extremely reliable. Persons understand PLC programming for
Displays / set points easily. Vibration levels displayed clearly in Control room. Operators able to compare to other operating parameters like voltage,current,freuency etc. Operators able to make intelligent machine decisions by using plc. Installed Cost is same as any other transmitter currently in service (pressure, temperature, flow, level, etc)
