PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER PLC
Q PLCs are easy to program and install
Q The speed with which internal times operate is much faster than
conventional time delay relay systems
Q Access to PLCs could be restricted or protected
Q PLCs have the advantage of problem-solving capabilities, over any
other type of control system
