PLC Controllers
Programmable Logic Controllers are in stock with same-day shipping at Mouser from industry leading manufacturers. Mouser is an authorized distributor for many programmable logic controller manufacturers including Arduino, IDEC, Industrial Shields, Omron, Opto 22, Phoenix Contact, Schneider Electric, Siemens & more.
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are industrial-grade computing systems designed to automate machinery and processes through real-time monitoring and control of inputs and outputs. Built for harsh environments, PLCs deliver high reliability, fast response times, and deterministic performance essential for modern industrial automation. Their modular architecture and flexible programming capabilities enable scalable control solutions across simple to complex manufacturing systems.
Applications: Programmable logic controllers are widely used in factory automation, assembly lines, material handling systems, packaging equipment, process control, and industrial robotics to enable precise, coordinated, and repeatable operations.
Common Types: Common PLC types include compact (fixed) PLCs, modular PLCs, rack-mounted systems, safety PLCs, and distributed PLCs designed for networked control architectures.
Selection requirements: Choosing a programmable logic controller requires evaluating I/O capacity, processing speed, communication protocols, scalability, environmental durability, programming compatibility, and integration with existing automation systems to ensure optimal performance and future expansion.
