PLCs & HMIs are essential components in industrial automation, enabling precise control and monitoring of machinery and processes. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are ruggedized computers designed for real-time control of manufacturing equipment, assembly lines, and other automated systems. They offer modular I/O, high-speed processing, and reliability in harsh environments. Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) provide intuitive touchscreen or panel-based interfaces for operators to interact with PLCs, visualize data, and adjust parameters. Common products in this category include Siemens SIMATIC PLCs, Allen-Bradley ControlLogix, Schneider Electric Modicon, Omron CJ Series, and Mitsubishi FX Series PLCs, alongside HMIs like Red Lion Graphite, Weintek MT8000, and Pro-Face GP4000. These devices support ladder logic, structured text, and other programming languages for customized automation solutions.
