float switches by opening or closing an electric valve.
In this example plc accepting two digital inputs from two
float switches.The plc controlling a single digital output
to actuate the inlet value valve into tank.
advantages:
1 flexibility:one single Plc can easily run many machines
2with plc we can do any changes in circuit design and we can
correct the errors.
3 pilot running
4 visible observation
5 space efficency: todays plc's have more memory therefore
we can generate more and more contacts timers,coils,counters.
