Understanding Dry and Wet Contacts in Industrial PLCs

Understanding Dry and Wet Contacts in Industrial PLCs

A PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) consists of hardware components such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), memory, I/O (Input/Output interfaces), power module, and communication module. Among these, the I/O interface is a critical component that connects the controller to external devices, responsible for signal input (Input) and output (Output). Below, we will discuss dry contact … Read more
