Describe a classic programmable logic controller (PLC).

What will be an ideal response?


A classic programmable logic controller (PLC) is a computer that controls a machine according to a set of ordered steps. Take for example a machine that produces cakes. Each step in the process of producing a cake follows a certain pattern (add ingredients, mix, bake, etc.) that has to go in order and in the proper timing. The PLC monitors sensors (like timers and oven temperatures) and tells the machine when to do the next step in the process.
