A PLC, or Programmable Logic Controller, is a programable computing device used to manage electromechanical processes, tipically in various industries. The primary function of a PLC is to monitor input devices, process information, and control output devices to perform specific tasks or processes.
PLCs are versatile and can be programmed to handle a wide range of applications. They are used to automate processes, as they can control, measure, and carry out tasks in processes such as the control of machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides, and the regulation of temperatures and pressure, among others.
