What Is a Programmable Logic Controller?
A PLC is a small rugged industrial real time computer that consists of various physical inputs and outputs that can be used to control a wide variety of applications. It’s designed to automate repetitive system operations. They can be programmed to handle a wide range of tasks and play a critical role in the working procedures of many businesses in Perth and beyond.
PLCs are programmed by a programmer using the software for that brand of PLC. Once the PLC has been programmed, it will execute its program according to the logic used in the code. A PLC reads its inputs executes the logic and updates it’s outputs accordingly in cyclical scans.PLCs are flexible and can therefore be used to control a wide range of different machinery and processes across different industries.
Scadalectric: PLC Brands we work with
Brands that Scadalectric Automation Perth works with include Allen Bradley, Siemens, Omron, GE, Schneider, Mitsubishi, Delta and Beckhoff.
Allen Bradley PLC Programming
Allen Bradley PLCs have user-friendly designs across small, medium, and large-scale applications. Some of the most popular Allen Bradley PLCs include the ControlLogix, CompactLogix, and MicroLogix/SLC 500 PLCs.
These PLCs are easier to program, and can effectively control any electro-mechanical process. They are easier and faster to debug than other PLCs. The Allen Bradley PLC controller types can be used for small, medium and large applications.
Allen Bradley PLCs are Used For:
- Large continuous processing
- Batching
- Motion control
- Support a large amount of I/O and communications modules for all protocols.
Three of the most popular ranges of Allen Bradley PLC are:
Though there are some similarities between all three types of PLCs, applications differ. We have the experience to provide you with a bespoke solution, using Allen Bradley PLCs. For controlling different electro-mechanical processes in manufacturing and other automation environments.
MicroLogix/ SLC 500’s
These legacy PLCs are used for small to medium applications. And standalone machines where less I/O or less demanding applications are required. The controller supports discrete I/O points and analog I/O’s.
CompactLogix
This modern type of PLC is used for medium sized control systems like large standalone machines to small packing systems. It has built-in I/O as well as extension modules and can handle discrete and analog I/O.
ControlLogix
This top-of-the-range PLC is used for large control systems. It is known as a modular PLC and uses separate I/O modules in a rack system.

Benefits of PLCs
As we said above: PLCs have had a significant impact on the industrial world, and it’s not hard to see why. They come complete with a host of features that can help businesses to improve. Some of the key benefits of PLCs include:
Reliable Working
Once a PLC has been programmed and the battery is maintained, it won’t forget its code and doesn’t require regular updates like a normal computer. It’s reliable software and hardware will produce the same results over and over again for many years with only minimal maintenance.
Easy to diagnose faults
If anything does go wrong with your machine, factory or plant PLC, it’ll be relatively easy to diagnose and fix. It’s easy to monitor the programme code on a laptop or desktop computer to help identify the issue. Error messages and other visual clues on the screen help with the debugging process. This is a lot quicker than any other form of troubleshooting a breakdown.
Productive
PLCs work effectively because they know what they’re supposed to be doing. They’re designed with high-speed, real-time operations in mind, and are capable of delivering instantaneous output and consistent results.
Adaptable
PLCs can be adapted for a wide range of needs and requirements. Even ones that are currently in use can be easily reprogrammed with minimal disturbance; it’s much more straightforward than rewiring a relay circuit since it’s all controlled digitally.
Why are control systems generally used?
It’s not difficult to see the appeal of control systems. For starters, they’re reliable, more reliable than humans and faster too.When you program a PLC, you can have peace of mind that it’ll be working as long as you want it to — and that it’ll be working correctly. They’re also capable of tasks that humans could not do safely.
They’re also less expensive than manual work. The ongoing costs of managing a PLC are much cheaper than the cost of running a workforce, and in many cases, PLCs are more productive.
PLCs are commonly found on:
- Assembly lines
- Mining
- Power control systems
- Manufacturing machinery
- Wastewater treatment systems and many other applications.
PLC Programming Cost
There’s a cost associated with implementing PLC programming into a business operation. The exact cost will depend on a wide variety of factors, including the the size and complexity of the application. While the cost can be prohibitive to some businesses at first, it’s important to remember that PLCs are generally considered an investment, since they can help to improve productivity and output.
