Development of programmable logic controllers training kit

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) have become the main workhorse for equipment control in a variety of industries since they were introduced in 1968. PLC’s are widely used in industrial applications to control robots, conveyors, electric motors, electro pneumatic and electro hydraulic systems....
