Looking after your PLC
19 days agoPLCs can survive for over 20 years. But although the component parts of a PLC, such as central processing units (CPUs) and power supply units (PSUs), boast long lifespans, components such as input/output (I/O) modules and communication modules are not so robust. Tom Cash, director of automation parts supplier Foxmere, explains how engineers can ensure PLCs last for their expected duration.
