Is plc a part of electrical designing?
Answer:
Yes, but it is also part of mechanical engineering as well.
PLC = Programmable Logic Controller
It can be programed in many computer languages and usually requires the manufactures application software. Most older kinds used latter logic to enable the maintenance techs to read them. Most are moving to visual basic with some using conversational. It is a very powerful device that is used to replace massive amounts of relays. What use to require a cabinet 6' x 4' can be reduced to 2' x 1', with much more flexibility to change. Hard wire systems require lots of labor for most changes, while a PLC system can be changed either on the fly or on a PC then downloaded to controller, very fast.
If that is PLC and not pic, yes. PLC stands for "programable logic circuit"
PLC is definetly a vital part of electrical design, it requires understanding in digital logic
The only similarity of plc and electrical design is in the logic that it is written in. If you were to view a plc program it would look like a circuit. Like in a circuit things can be in series or in parallel. Example if your output was to turn on a light and your input was two buttons had to be pressed at the same time then you would program them in series but if you wanted the light to turn on if either button is pressed than you would design the buttons to be parallel. So basically if you understand electrical design than you will understand the logic of programming in plc.
