Main characteristic of all types of programmable controllers is their ability to adapt to a particular application, resistance to harsh environments and high reliability. Industrial programmable logic controller (PLC) was made on the basis of the RPi module and adapted to control a specific device. The controller is installed in a larger device, which has a controlled ambient temperature. Next to the controller all required power supplies to power the control electronics are installed. The PLC controls all functional parts of the larger device, acquires and stores all measurement data and sends it to an external supervisory system.
