PLC control system is that it regards PLC as control key component, utilize special I/O module to form hardware of control system with a small amount of measurement and peripheral circuit, to realize control to the whole system through programming.
1. High Reliability
Strong anti-interference quality and very high reliability are the most important features of PLC. In order to make PLC work stably in strong interferential circumstance. Many techniques are applied in PLC. Software control instead of relay control mode can decrease faults which are brought about by original electric contact spot outside working badly. Industrial grade components made by advance processing technology can resist interferences, and self diagnosis measures of watchdog circuit for protecting memory can improve performance of PLC greatly.
2. Good Flexibility
There are several programming languages for PLC including ladder diagram, SFC, STL, ST and so on. If operator can master only one of programming languages, he can operate PLC well. Every who want to use PLC has a good choice. Based on engineering practice, capacity and function can be expanded by expanding number of module, so PLC has a good flexibility.
3. Quality of Strong Easy-Operating
It is very easy to edit and modify program for PLC by computer offline or online. It is very easy to find out where the fault lie by displaying the information of fault and function of Self Diagnosing Function, and all these make maintenance and repair for PLC easier. It is very easy to configure PLC because of modularization, standardization, serialization of PLC.
