What is Siemens PLC?

Siemens PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) are industrial computers used to automate electromechanical processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides, or light fixtures. They are characterized by their flexible programmability, robustness in harsh environments, and ability to handle complex control logic. Siemens offers a range of PLCs, including the SIMATIC S7 series, which are widely used in various industries for tasks like controlling motors, managing production lines, and monitoring sensors.
