- It is a heart of control systems, PLC monitors the state of the system through field input devices, feedback signals and based on the feedback signal PLC determine the type of action to be carried out at field output devices.
- PLC provides easy and economic solution for many automation tasks like
- Operates control and monitoring.
- Co-ordination and communication.
