    This guy's over simplified explanation makes it sound like a PLC is overkill. Why use a PLC when you can use a switch. The answer is that a PLC can be programmed to do stuff at a specific time, input or output condition. You normally use MODBUS to do the PLC programming and a high level external program to do the configuring, like NodeRED.

    First of all I want to thanks RealPars team. As a student of mechatronics engineering PLC is my core subject recently i had a industrial visit to SIEMENS mumbai, India I loved the environment there but as visit was only for 3 days I didn't gather enough knowledge as i wanted so then visited to your videos and these videos clears lot of my doubts.
    Now, I want to know if somehow i can get any internship or something at SIEMENS that would be amazing please share your knowledge in this subject. Also please tell me more about how can I gain more knowledge of PLC and how can it be useful for my career.
    Thanks

    • @realpars

      Hi Anil, thank you very much for your positive feedback. Working as an intern at Siemens or any other company in the filed of industrial automation and control system design will be a huge help for your career and I highly recommend that. As to your question about learnig PLC programming, we have several videos here on RealPars CZcams channel that can be a good start. We'll try to add new videos more often. Good luck!

  • @luishumbertoruizbetanzos4261

    Quick, A programmable Logic Controller or PLC is simply a special computer that is programmed to control certain processes in industries like petroleum, steel or automotive. Every PLC is composed of three main parts: Input, CPU and output. Suppose that we have an electrical motor and push button. We want the motor to turn on when the button is pressed. When the button is pressed again, we want the motor to turn off. This function is similar to the function of the power button on your TV remote. To do this, we must first write a program for this operation on a computer and then download it to the CPU. Then we connect the switch to the input and the motor to the output. Now if we press the button, an electricalsignal will be sent to the PLC. The PLC input will deliver this signal to the CPU but first must present it in a format that the CPU can process. Why? because the CPU is a computer system and connot process the raw electrical signal. The CPU will process the data received and send the result to the output. The output turns the data to a raw electrical signal again and applies that to the motor and turns it on. Now if we press the buttonagain, the process repeats and the motor will turn off. Okay.
    Rápido, un controlador lógico programable o PLC es simplemente una computadora especial que está programada para controlar ciertos procesos en industrias como el petróleo, el acero o la automotriz. Cada PLC se compone de tres partes principales: entrada, CPU y salida. Supongamos que tenemos un motor eléctrico y un botón pulsador. Queremos que el motor se encienda cuando se presione el botón. Cuando se presiona nuevamente el botón, queremos que el motor se apague. Esta función es similar a la función del botón de encendido en el control remoto de su televisor. Para hacer esto, primero debemos escribir un programa para esta operación en una computadora y luego descargarlo a la CPU. Luego conectamos el interruptor a la entrada y el motor a la salida. Ahora, si presionamos el botón, se enviará una señal eléctrica al PLC. La entrada del PLC entregará esta señal a la CPU, pero primero debe presentarla en un formato que la CPU pueda procesar. ¿Por qué? porque la CPU es un sistema informático y no puede procesar la señal eléctrica sin procesar. La CPU procesará los datos recibidos y enviará el resultado a la salida. La salida convierte los datos a una señal eléctrica sin procesar nuevamente y los aplica al motor y los enciende. Ahora, si presionamos el botón nuevamente, el proceso se repite y el motor se apagará. Bueno.

    PLC sends the digital signal to the CPU.
    CPU makes calculations to change the digital signal for on and off respectively.
    How does the motor understand the digital signal from the CPU?

    • @realpars
      @realpars  Před rokem +1

      The input signal is sensed by a digital input card. Periodically (every 50ms for example) the state of the pushbutton is sent to the CPU. The CPU executes some logic, and if appropriate, sets the state of a digital output on a connected digital output card. The digital output is essentially a switch, which completes a circuit to a motor starter or relay, that when energized, causes the pump to start. The I/O cards communicate to the CPU via a backplane or via a communication interface if the I/O card is remote from the CPU rack.

    Why the should I need plc when I can directly connect motor to the switch..??

    • @realpars
      @realpars  Před 3 lety +1

      You are correct. You wouldn't need the PLC at all. What if you wanted to not start the motor even if the button was pressed if there is an interlock condition, such as when an upstream feed tank is empty? We don't want the motor to start on the pump in this condition. The PLC allows multiple signals to be brought into the logic so that the process is operated safely and under the optimal conditions. This is not always easy to do with strictly field-mounted operators, such as switches or pushbuttons.
