Market Trends & Technology Updates: PLCs/IPCs

Presented by EBV Elektronik

A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is the "brain" of a factory, controlling a wide range of functions by receiving data from sensors, switches, and other devices, and using programmed code to control external devices. PLCs communicate with other components of the automation system via fieldbuses and provide modular expansion options for flexibility. PLCs must be robust, reliable, and able to handle high-density input/output channels, multiprotocol handling, and low power dissipation. Real-time communication with distributed PLCs and other components is essential for smooth operation and reduced scrap rates.
