"A Programmable Logic Controller, PLC, or Programmable Controller is a microprocessor used for automation of industrial processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines. Unlike general-purpose computers, the PLC is designed for extended temperature ranges, dirty or dusty conditions, immunity to electrical noise, and resistance to vibration and impact. Programs to control machine operation are stored in battery-backed or read-only memory." Click here to learn more.
