A programmable logic controller (PLC) is a small industrial computer designed to work in industrial environments and automate electromechanical processes. PLCs are able to control processes based on real-time data, adjust parameters and act on production processes remotely.

Equipment or processes that require maintaining some fixed parameter can easily be found in industry. The speed of a motor, the flow, level and temperature of a hydraulic circuit or the pressure of a compressed air system are good examples. To control all these variables, different strategies are implemented using PLCs and control and acquisition applications that, in addition to controlling, allow the process visualization. PLCs use classical control algorithms such as PID control (proportional, integral and derivative) and other more complex strategies such as the cascade control, multivariable control, feed forward control and selective control.

The continuous improvement of the industrial processes and the search for new forms of production organization are laying the foundations of the Industry 4.0 or smart factories. This industry seeks complete digitalization and automation, generating a regular flow of information and interconnecting all the elements of a process through the so-called IoT (Internet of Things). The need for process flexibility and manufacturing efficiency involves the development of computer-controlled autonomous factories.

INTRODUCTION
