  • Central Processing Unit (CPU)
  • Program Memory (ROM – Read Only Memory)
  • Data Memory (RAM – Random Access Memory)
  • Timers and Counters.
  • I/O Ports (I/O – Input/Output)
  • Serial Communication Interface.
  • Clock Circuit (Oscillator Circuit)
  • Interrupt Mechanism.

What are the major components of microcontroller?

200
  • processor or central processing unit (CPU);
  • rack or mounting;
  • input assembly;
  • output assembly;
  • power supply;
  • programming unit, device, or PC/software

What are the 4 main components of a PLC?

ADC samples the analog signal to allow the processor to read it in digital form. It is an input device. DAC is the opposite, producing an analog signal according to its digital form. ... An ADC converts a voltage level to a numeric value, usually to be read by a microcontroller.

What is difference between ADC and DAC?

The electrical requirements for inputs, outputs, and system power; When determining the electrical requirements of a system, consider three items:

  • Incoming power (power for the control system);
  • Input device voltage; and.
  • Output voltage and current.

What are the factor to be considered for selecting PLC?

sensor is a device which detects or measures a physical property and records, indicates, or otherwise responds to it.

What is sensor?

400

 A device that uses a microprocessor is normally capable of many functions, such as word processing, calculation, and communication via Internet or telephone. However, for the device to work properly, the microprocessor itself has to communicate with other parts of the device.

Why is microprocessor important?

400

 Interrupts are signals sent to the CPU by external devices, normally I/O devices. They tell the CPU to stop its current activities and execute the appropriate part of the operating system.

What is the purpose of interrupts?

400

Principle of Programmable Logic Controller: Programmable Logic Controllers are used for continuously monitoring the input values from sensors and produces the outputs for the operation of actuators based on the program.

What is the working principle of PLC?

400

Sensors are important to robotics for two main reasons. First of all, they allow the robot to become more autonomous because it can perceive its own environment and through programming it can make decisions based on what it perceives.

Why are sensors important to robots?
