Abstract :
Programmable controllers (PCs) are helping to put more productivity into America´s ailing infrastructure. Within the industrial control field, PCs are successfully replacing solid-state logic, analog controllers, and even minicomputers. Specific examples will illustrate how PCs have filled a niche for reliable controllers that can be used in process and discrete parts manufacturing applications.
