PLCs provide a means of controlling machines and other industrial application with a(n)
___________________ instead of using hard wired devices.
industrial computer
A PLC requires much less _____ than a hard wired relay panel that could do the same job.
space
The six basic components of most PLCs are the power supply, the input and output modules, the
processors module, the programming device, and the ___________.
I/O chassis
A(n) __________ network is a high speed communications connection used to exchange data
between production line equipment and other devices within a manufacturing facility.
industrial
The three network levels are Enterprise, Automation and _______, and Field Device.
Control
_______________ uses several protocols to convert data from its native format, such as a text
message, into a format that can be sent and tracked from the source node to the destination node of a
network.
Ethernet TCP/IP
Ethernet/IP uses the ___ (protocol) to produce a network suitable for use on automation and control
level.
