PLC
Programmable logic control (PLC) or programmable controller is an industrial computer that has been ruggedized and adapted for the control of manufacturing processes.
Equipment control is offered exclusively with the use of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), as they are extremely reliable and easy to maintain with local software and hardware support provided by in-house staff or using local expertise from a hardware distributor. We often integrate and update older SLC installations. We also modernize PLC5 platform architectures and PC-based control systems with newer, more viable and easier-to-maintain off-the-shelf industry standard Rockwell ControlLogix-based technologies.
