What language is that ?? Is it like pie are round and corn bread are square ?):thinking::LOL:
Really say what
I wish I could say this is the first time that someone has said that!
PLC stands for programmable logic controller. They are very popular for industrial control applications, and are now becoming affordable enough for hobbyist use. They basically use relay logic, like we are using here for your project, but instead of having to wire everything specifically, you could just plug them all into the PLC and write a bit of ladder logic (code) to make the motor stop just right.
This becomes more efficient as projects become larger and larger, the last project that I worked on was 110+ servo controlled high speed axes, all controlled by PLC's.
