Difference between conventional PLC and safety PLC
Safety programmable logic controller (PLC) is designed for special-purpose machines and equipment used for critical control and safety applications. These controllers are usually the safety instrumented system (SIS) as part of use in detecting potentially dangerous processes in industrial environments. If danger is detected, SIS applications automatically, switch to the process safety. Here, the user … Continue reading Difference between conventional PLC and safety PLC
