17.1.1 PLC Connections

 

 

 

· The PLC continuously scans the inputs, and changes the outputs.

 

· The Process can be anything - a large press, a car, a security door, a blast furnace.

 

· As inputs change (e.g. a start button) the outputs will be changed. This will cause the process to change, and new inputs to the PLC will be received.
