What is PLC automation, and how does it help the different industries?
PLC automation was invented by the Bedford associates. As the name suggests the PLC is a helping tool used for the running of machines and equipment in all kinds of factories. These are strong computerized machines that are meant to control and operate other machines in industries such as cars, and food. It is fed with programs to run equipment like valves, switches, buttons, etc. The PLC is programmed to withstand extreme weather conditions, in the industrial environment.
Automation is also useful in the maritime, and tool manufacturing industries. Programmable logic controllers are used in these industries to automate the functions of different equipment or machines, reducing the risk of manual labor. They can work with any machine, as they are programmed to process electric signals and help the machines to run effectively. Therefore, due to its efficiency, usability, consecutive control, and ease of programming, the demand for PLC has only been increasing

Advantages of using PLC usage in industries
It was built to ditch the relay-based control systems that were outdated. PLCs proved to be more functional and handy in all kinds of industries. Thus there are several reasons why, PLC is used vastly in industries. Some of these include:
Cost-effectiveness: PLC automation offers cost-effective solutions due to advanced manufacturing, reduced hardware costs, reduced installation time, and reduced maintenance expenses over the system’s lifetime. PLC systems save downtime and maintenance costs by employing built-in diagnostics, assuring dependable operation in severe industrial settings, and allowing for quick replacement of modular components with no interruption.
Flexibility: PLC software makes it easier to modify instructions than relay-based systems, which involve rebuilding the whole relay circuit. PLCs allow for logic changes within the controller, which simplifies programming and input/output port connections. The program is subsequently downloaded into the PLC software, which eliminates the need for hardware or wiring modifications. PLCs provide ideal flexibility and scalability by using a single model for several applications, making easy program modifications to accommodate changing demands and extending for additional process control.
Safety: It includes several troubleshooting tools that enable operators and engineers to discover problems quickly. And so the systems can be shut down without causing any harm to a human worker when a malfunction occurs. They also display indications to alert operators about issues. PLCs are designed for ease of use, allowing engineers to link with components. It improves safety by safeguarding workers and equipment, by replacing manual involvement in risky tasks. PLCs have built-in diagnostics that can quickly diagnose software or hardware faults. They display control systems on a monitor, allowing users to monitor their performance in real time.
Increased productivity: It improves industrial processes by automating repetitive operations, reacting to changing conditions, improving processes in real-time, increasing consistency, and reducing human errors.
