PLC Applications

Within many situations, such as an industrial factory, remote monitoring and control of various machines, motors, and processes is extremely valuable.

In this type of application, robustness and reliability of the communication solution is paramount, rather than data rate. Regular updates, in the range of every 10-15 minutes is more than often enough, so a PLC solution in this environment can sacrifice data rate in lieu of robustness and reliability.

Various examples of applications for this type of slower data rate, robust PLC solution are listed below:

Monitoring and Data Acquisition

Command and Control

Home Automation

Demand-Side Management and Monitoring
