Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a digital industrial control device, commonly used to automate production lines and machines. It can logically process and control the input and output by writing programs, and has a high degree of reliability and stability.

Programmable controller (PLC) uses a memory that can be programmed to perform instructions such as stored logic operations and sequence control, timing, counting and arithmetic operations, and controls various types of mechanical equipment or production processes through digital or analog input (I) and output (O) interfaces, which are widely used in the field of automation control, including but not limited to the following applications:

Industrial automation: PLCs are used to control and manage factory production lines, robots, processing equipment, etc.

Transportation: PLC can be used for traffic lights, tunnel lighting, elevators, automatic doors, etc.

Building automation: PLC can be used in building automation systems, such as air conditioning, elevators, access control, etc.

Energy management: PLC can be used to manage and control energy production, transmission and distribution, such as power plants, substations, water treatment plants, etc.

Medical equipment: PLC can be used to control the operation and monitoring of medical equipment, such as X-ray machines, pacemakers, etc.

Home automation: PLC can be used in home automation systems, such as smart homes, security systems, etc.
