A PLC is a digital computer designed to automate industrial electromechanical processes, such as machinery control on factory assembly lines or light fixtures. PLCs are built to operate under complex industrial environments such as extreme temperatures and wet, dry, and/or dusty conditions. These programmable logic controllers may range from small modular types to large rack-mounted modular devices, mostly networked to other SCADA and PLC systems. PLCs play an important role in automation, forming part of a larger SCADA system. A PLC can be programmed based on the operational requirement of the process. The various industry's rapid move toward automation has increased the adoption of the PLC worldwide. On the other hand, functional complexities associated with the PLC may create challenges for PLC adoption. The new advancements and extending applications of PLC in robotics are boosting its penetration in the market.
