AIM: Introduction to FUJI PLC and its different models.
MATERIAL REQUIRED: PLC
Practical application of the Experiment
Expected outcome: To study the supply terminals, input/ output terminals, and SX programmer
software.
THEORY:
PLC stands for Programmable Logic Controller.
It is a solid-state industrial control device which receives signals from user supplied
control devices such as sensors and switches, implements them in a precise pattern
determine by ladder diagram stored in memory and provides output for control of
devices such as relays or motors.
It can be easily programmed or changed as per the application’s requirement.
PLC is the system that makes machinery and systems work automatically.
