<description><![CDATA[The programmable logic controller, more commonly known as the PLC, plays a role in almost every automated manufacturing process. The PLC is an electronically programmable device capable of almost infinite combinations of relays, contacts, and timing circuits used to control industrial machinery of all types and sizes. It is essentially a computer designed to withstand a harsh manufacturing environment. It was designed to replace complex system of relays, cam switches, and other electromechanical circuits. The first PLC's were introduced in the late 1970's and they continued to grow in popularity since the day of their release.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In the world of manufacturing, whether it be heavy industrial or light production, wherever you find an electric motor there's always a contactor to drive and operate that motor. A contactor is simply an electrically controlled switch, also called a relay, used for switching a power circuit. It is designed so that when sufficient current flows through a coil built into the contactor, the magnetic field which is generated causes the contacts to be pulled in. The contacts, in turn operate as the switch. The contacts are appropriately sized by the designer of the particular circuit to handle current flow without overheating. Contactors are sold in a variety of sizes for specific applications. The design of the contacts themselves permit the contactor to be opened and closed repeatedly with minimal damage. This, of course can and will vary depending on the load current and failure can come rather quickly to an improperly sized contactor. ]]></description>
