Introduction
 Industry has begun to recognize the need for quality improvement and increase in productivity in the sixties and seventies. Flexibility also became a major concern (ability to change a process quickly became very important in order to satisfy consumer needs).
Programmable controllers are generally programmed in ladder diagram (or “relay diagram”) which is nothing but a symbolic representation of electrical circuits. Symbols were selected that actually l0oked similar to schematic symbols of electric devices, and this has made it much easier for electricians to switch to programming PLC controllers. Electricians who have never seen a PLC can understand a ladder diagram.
