PLCs (programmable logic controllers) are compact industrial computers that bridge software and physical control. They are essential to automation in manufacturing but also in common systems, including traffic lights and HVAC systems. Seth So, Eaton Power Systems Experience Center Engineer, is back to breakdown the essentials of PLCs and how they are the brains behind industrial automation. In this video, Seth explains: PLC hardware components Digital and analog inputs/outputs PLC control logic and explains AND/OR gates Programming languages: ladder logic, function block diagram (FBD), structured text, sequential function chart, and instruction list Step-by-step PLC workflow If you're new to controls engineering or looking to sharpen your skills, this video gives you a solid foundation in PLCs.
