what is plc? Basic function of plc? application of plc in
industry? What is lader diagram ? What is the main advantage
to use plc in industry?

Answer Posted / eswar

Plc is a simple computer which used for automation of real
world processes such as controlling of machinery in a industry.
Plc is a microprocessor based device with input and output
circuitry that monitors the status of the field connected
"sensor"inputs and controls attached output"actuators"
according to user created logic program.
application: maintaining the water level in a tank between
two float switches by controlling the electric valve.
Ladder diagram is a language which composes of program using
a relay logic symbols as a base in an image similar to a
hardwired relay logic sequence.
advantages
flexibility,pilot running,space efficiency,correcting
errors,visual observation
