How Signal Chains and PLCs Impact Our Lives

Abstract: It is incredible how many programmable logic controls (PLCs) around us make our modern life possible and pleasant. Machines in our homes heat and cool our air and water, as well as preserve and cook our food. This tutorial explains the importance of PLCs, and describes how to choose component parts using the parametric tools on the Maxim's website.
