PLC & SCADA

Automation of many different processes, such as controlling machines or factory assembly lines, is done through the use of small computers called as Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).

This is actually a control device that consists of a programmable microprocessor, and is programmed using a specialized computer language.

Today, programmable logic controllers deliver a wide range of functionality, including basic relay control, motion control, process control, and complex networking, as well as being used in Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems and Distributed Control Systems, SCADA is traditionally meant to monitor, control and gather the data from devices in the field.
