Got Control? Part 2
So when is a PC (personal computer) a PAC (programmable automation controller) or a PLC (programmable logic controller)? They are all the same. They all have microprocessors. They are all programmable. They are all available with hardware that is rated for industrial environments, shock, vibration, temperature extremes and various other requirements. They are all connected to real world devices such as sensors, switches, etc. They all execute control based on a programmed binary model of a real world manufacturing process. More>>
