Listed below the comparison of PLC vs Relay logic circuits.
- Relays usually used for protection applications (Example: over-current , under-voltage ,Etc). But PLC devices are used for control applications (Example:load shedding) and it needs timer circuit.
- Modern numerical relays have advance microprocessors but PLC is depend on simple processor that can't support the new requirements of systems.
- PLC system is more expensive for a simple circuit than Relay system. However, they can both be used for the same application and they both require an analog timer and a timer socket.
- PLC are used for industrial automation which can be programmed easily but relays as a sequence logic as per process and hence relays are used for isolation purposes.
- Wiring ,maintenance modification are difficult with relay but in PLC,user can easily modify the logic to add number of input and outputs.
- PLC is the much less complex than large relay based system.
- PLC is the very flexible due to network architecture compare to relay panel.
- PLC is the virtually self-documenting compare to relay panel.
- PLC is the very space efficient and less manpower required to install compare to relay panel.
- PLC is the upfront material costs are similar, but savings on
installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting increase rapidly as
system size increases compare to relay panel.
- PLC`s reliability in industry and lab experience demonstrate PLCs comparable to relay system.
- PLCs huge knowledge base in industry compares to relay panel
- PLCs training and operating is very easy to handle its hardware and programming is also easy to learning
- In the PLC have no complicated wiring compare to relay panel.
Relay Logic Circuit | PLC |
---|---|
It is an operating on analog system. | t is an operating on digital system. |
The maximum time any change in input is reflected in any output is t1. | The maximum time any change in input is reflected in any output is t1+t2+…+ Tn. |
Since this is made from analogue components. It is possible to replace. A logic section without stopping execution of other logic sections if wired correctly. | This is made with a digital micro-controller. The micro-controller must be halted to replace a logic section. All other logic sections will stop operation |
Since parallel execution of logic sections, all outputs are a function of one set of inputs. | Since serial execution of logic sections, all outputs may not be a function of one set of inputs. |
