A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a form of ruggedized computer used in industries for automation. They are programmed to automate specific processes, machine functions and sometimes the entire production line. PLCs receive information and data from connected input devices and process these data and trigger output upon their programmed instructions. Based on incoming inputs and outputs, real-time insights into machine productivity, the temperature can be measured and the processes can be automated. They are flexible and are controlled by robots, which are easily adaptable.

In the field of industrial automation, there have been a surge in the use of analytics, the use of PACs, PLCs and cloud-based supervisory control and data acquisitions. These trends will be the future of industrial automation. There is a constant improvement in making the automation industry energy sufficient, improved designs and operator visualization. PLCs will continue to play an important role in this because they have proven to be the best alternative for a variety of industrial automation appliances. PLCs are evolving at a great level due to flexibility, ease, improved memory, speed, and scalability. PLCs have reaped the benefits of USB technology and have made monitoring of control systems easier.
The future of PLCs will be ever evolving due to the advent of smaller micro and mini USB converters which will help in producing smaller PLCs and improve the bandwidth of usage. There will be improvements in communications, hardware, and software. In industrial automation in European countries, there already has been the adoption of control devices like PCs, DCs without any intervention from humans.
