PLC Course G01

Description
A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a specialized computer used in industrial
automation and control systems. PLCs are designed to monitor inputs from various sensors
and switches, process data according to a user-defined program, and control outputs such
as motors, valves, and other actuators to automate machinery and processes.
