PLC’s play a vital role in the field of automation, using forming part of a larger SCADA system. A PLC can be programmed to meet operational requirements of the process. Due to the changing nature of production, reprogramming is required in the manufacturing industry. Thus, to overcome this difficulty, PLC-based control systems were introduced. A PLC receives data from various sources, including automated data capture points and human input points such as buttons and switches. PLC then decides whether or not to change the output, based on its programming. The outputs of a PLC can control a wide variety of equipment, including motors, solenoid valves, lighting, switchgear, safety shut-offs, and others.
The PLC market is growing due to rising awareness of automation in industrial processes, widespread acceptance of IoT (Internet of Things) connectivity, and rising need for smaller automation solutions. PLC is used in many industries for monitoring and control building systems in production processes, which are designed in such a way that each PLC performs a single set of tasks. Adoption of compact solutions and growing automation applications in buildings, high rises, and manufacturing industries drive the PLC market.
Process automation industries are increasing due to the use of PLCs, which provide economical solutions for necessary control needs in simple machines ranging from a simple control timing circuit to a relay replacement logic circuit. Furthermore, to address the fast-changing dynamics of the market, manufacturers are adopting automation technologies that help in increasing productivity and eliminating errors while increasing the safety of the working personnel.
For instance, E&A offers a scalable, flexible and efficient XLB range of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) to meet the growing automation demand of the machines, building, and industrial applications. The XLB is a micro PLC series that provides optimal performance at the lowest possible price. For industrial applications such as counting, measuring, simple controlling, closed-loop control, and motion control, a compact PLC suite with built-in communication and I/O capabilities is an ideal choice.
Many smaller industries have tried to get cut the high cost of PLC install in recent years. They also tried to satisfying their desire for automation by using programmable logic relays, or PLR’s. PLR’s are similar to PLC’s but have fewer inputs and outputs, making them ideal for light industries with fewer processes to automate.
However, PLR’s, on the other hand, offer high-level algorithmic control for automation, but they aren't always scalable. Moreover, they offer a variety of sensors for data collection and reporting. As a result, several businesses are shifting to Remote Telemetry Units, or RTU’s, to replace PLC’s.
RTU’s are small-scale, PLC-like devices. They have a huge number of discrete and analogue sensors on board. Processes can be monitored, and relays can be controlled to carry out simple controls.
For instance, RTU’s like the NetGuardian series have proven to be a low-cost solution for monitoring actions, good for network, communications, and transport processes. It also provides alarms to alert techs to problems, and take action to minimize any impact.
Hence, the availability of substitutes for PLC and high cost of adoption of such systems is anticipated to impede the market growth during the forecast period.
Impact of COVID
The declaration of coronavirus as a global pandemic has dealt a huge blow to the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) market. All markets had come to a halt due to the closure of borders, the suspension of public and private transportation, self-isolation, and quarantine administration in major cities.
During 2020, lockdown the market was hit in the first quarter and recovered in the second quarter of 2020.
The decision to self-isolate was shown to be effective in slowing the spread of the virus, giving optimism that humanity will be able to overcome this global calamity. Recovery of losses made by business owners and important players, on the other hand, may prove more difficult than anticipated. Lockdowns were enacted in cities, provinces, and countries. Businesses (including factories) were shuttered or operated at a reduced capacity.
The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) market was moderately impacted due to COVID-19 pandemic owing to disruption of supply chain. Major companies suspended their operations in different locations due to the lockdown and social distancing norms.
According to Gilles Pacaud, CEO of Rockwell Automation, Covid-19 has put the spotlight on all the themes of industry 4.0 that they been promoting for years. Industrialists now concerned how they would be able to keep their factories running in these conditions. COVID-19 indicated the future industry's needs, such as the necessity for production autonomy. Companies can continue to manufacture during a pandemic if everything is automated since machines cannot catch coronavirus. This will compel manufacturers to consider additional automation.
