Programmable Logic Controllers

Programmable logic controllers are the rugged industrial computers that read inputs, run a stored program and drive outputs, running machinery on a scan cycle, not a general-purpose operating system. Machine builders choose them when a sequence has to run reliably without a PC in the loop, when an obsolete controller can no longer be supported, or when a new build needs I/O, networking and program storage specified together.

 

As an authorized electrical distributor for multiple manufacturers, we stock PLC controllers, I/O modules, networking hardware, software and accessories across competing lines, so you can specify a whole control system from one order, compare communication options and cable types across brands, and match the platform a plant already programs in. Same-day shipping on in-stock items ordered before 2pm local time.
