Pentagon Systems & Automation are leading suppliers of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), an industrial digital computer designed to control manufacturing processes or robotic devices where reliability, real-time response and ease of programming are essential. PLCs are commonly used in automation to monitor inputs, make decisions based on programmed logic and control outputs.
Key Features of PLCs include:
- Programmable: Logic and functions can be easily modified via software.
- Real-Time Operation: Executes control tasks in real time for timely responses.
- Rugged and Durable: Designed to operate in harsh industrial environments.
- Communication Capabilities: Can be networked with other systems using protocols like Modbus, Ethernet/IP, Profibus, etc.
- Scalability: Suitable for small machines to complex systems.
- Fast Processing: Capable of high-speed operation and quick input/output scanning.
Programmable Logic Controllers Applications:
- Manufacturing - Assembly lines, Conveyor systems and Machine automation
- Process Industries - Chemical plants, Oil refineries and Water treatment facilities
- Building Automation - HVAC systems, Elevator control and Lighting systems
- Energy Sector - Power generation and distribution, Wind turbine and solar power control
