Introduction to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) (Full Lecture)

In this lesson we'll perform a brief overview and orientation to the programmable logic controller or PLC. We'll discuss the purpose and basic parts of a PLC and discuss different types of PLCs and PLC specifications. Additionally, we'll discuss the differences and advantages of PLCs over traditional hardwired relay based ladder logic. (Full Lecture)
