2. Programmable logic controller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_logic_controller

   A programmable logic controller (PLC) or programmable controller is an industrial computer that has been ruggedized and adapted for the control of manufacturing processes, such as assembly lines, machines, robotic devices, or any activity that requires high reliability, ease of programming, and process fault diagnosis.

3. PLC technician - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLC_Technician

   PLC technicians install and repair industrial electronic equipment (including input/output networks, data highways, variable speed drives, and process control equipment) and write PLC programs for a wide variety of automated control systems, ranging from simple on–off controls to robotics. PLC technicians also find employment in the ...

4. Industrial control system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_control_system

   An industrial control system (ICS) is an electronic control system and associated instrumentation used for industrial process control.Control systems can range in size from a few modular panel-mounted controllers to large interconnected and interactive distributed control systems (DCSs) with many thousands of field connections.

5. SCADA - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCADA

   This is the core of the SCADA system, gathering data on the process and sending control commands to the field connected devices. It refers to the computer and software responsible for communicating with the field connection controllers, which are RTUs and PLCs, and includes the HMI software running on operator workstations.
