4 USES OF PLC
What can Programmable Logic Controllers be used for? There are many industries where
precision and efficiency are of high importance. PLC’s control the mechanization of
certain production processes. Assembly lines, robotic devices, quality control parameters,
to name a few, PLCs provide reliable and high level operating power to a plethora of
systems and processes.

1.
Automobile Manufacturing
This is where PLC’s got their first big start. Odo
Josef Struger, an Austrian engineer, has been
coined a father of the PLC and helped Allen-
Bradely with the development of the technology.
After its development, a few years later it was first
adapted to replace an outdated relay system in
the automotive industry.

2. Product Assembly
Filing orders with the proper quantities and items used
to be done manually. A tedious process which required
many hands now can be done instantaneously and
without the possibility of human error. PLCs have sped
up production capabilities in most hard good industries.

3. Food Assembly Lines
When producing food in large quantities, quality
control is important. Too much or too little of
something can lead to an entire batch being
spoiled and/or wasted. With the use of PLCs,
exact quantities, mix times, cook times, etc can
be programmed and executed with ease.

4. At Home
There are civil applications for PLCs as well. At home in our
washing machines the wash, rinse, and spin times are all
controlled by a programmable logic controller. When
commuting, streetlights turn on in the evening thanks to
PLCs, and stop lights also can be controlled this way.

Conclusion
PLCs are everywhere nowadays. Within these industries they have
allowed for more efficiency and uniformity. We here at Control
Logic Training are here to train you in the Allen Bradley
ControlLogix5000 PLC system. Our comprehensive classes teach
you about the technology you are soon to be using.
