The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) defines a PLC as a “digitally operating electronic apparatus which uses a programmable memory for the internal storage of instructions by implementing specific functions, such as logic, sequencing, timing, counting, and arithmetic to control through digital or analog I/O modules various types of machines or processes.” This course is designed for those working with or close to programmable logic control systems, who need to be introduced to them for the first time.
