Everything you need to know about PLCs
What is the purpose of an industrial drive Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)?
An industrial Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) works as the main control unit of automated production lines. A PLC receives input signals from sensors, buttons, measuring devices, etc., processes them according to programmed logic algorithms, and generates output commands for actuators, such as servo drives, motors, or valves.
With the increasing complexity of machine construction, a PLC guarantees synchronized functioning of all separate drive components with microsecond accuracy.
Which types of LS Electric PLCs are available from BEGE?
BEGE offers an extensive range of industrial LS Electric PLCs in two main PLC hardware groups depending on the size and scope of the automation solution. Below you will find a comparative table outlining the differences in structure and functionality of these two PLC systems:
