Describe the power supply of the PLC.

What will be an ideal response?


The function of the power supply is to lower the incoming AC voltage to the desired level, rectify it to DC, and then filter and regulate it. The internal logic of a PLC generally operates on 5 to 24 volts DC, depending on the type of controller. This voltage must be free of voltage spikes and other electrical noise and be regulated to within 5 percent of the required voltage value. Some manufacturers of PLCs build a separate power supply, and others build the power supply into the CPU.
