摘要
It is proposed that Personal Computers (PCs) can be used effectively for the same industrial applications as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). The basic concepts related to the operation of a PLC to emulate the behavior of a relay panel are explained. This is used to build a simple model for using standard PCs in the same applications as PLCs. This is demonstrated using a simple example of an automated process. Sample code in a standard high level language is presented that can be used as a template for future developments. Finally, the potential advantages and enhancements that can result in using PCs for process control are presented. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
