 A programmable logic
controller (PLC) is a digital
computer used for automation of
electromechanical processes, such
as control of machinery on factory
assembly lines, control of
amusement rides, or control of
lighting fixtures.

(2) Modular
PLC
Properties:-

Monolithic (one- Fixed number of

Too much work required in connecting
wires

Difficulty with changes or replacements

Difficulty in finding errors, requiring

skillful work force
SCADA stands for Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition.
SCADA refers to a system that collects data from various sensors
at a factory, plant or in other remote locations and then sends this
data to a central computer which then manages and controls the
data. SCADA focuses on gathering and circulating the right
amount of system information to the right person or computer
within the right amount of time so that creative solutions are made
Possible.
