We see around us many machines that are fed data instructions and whose functions vary accordingly. Also, isn’t it amazing at the same time, when all the machines need is just a logic and they simply deliver the output to you? Well, surely it is, and to surprise you more, this article brings information on such a device. This article talks about PLC, a controller based on the logic that automates different functions. PLC finds a wide application in many fields where automation is required predominantly. Nowadays, many good projects based on PLC are offered to students. Provided below is the list for the same. Students willing to explore more in the field of automation can avail of this wonderful opportunity and learn many new concepts that are highly beneficial for them in the future.
