✅ C'mon over to https://realpars.com where you can learn PLC programming faster and easier than you ever thought possible! • ========================== • ✅ Check out the full blog post over at https://realpars.com/father-of-the-plc/ • ========================== • You probably watch these videos because of your interest in PLCs and automation. But have you ever wondered who actually invented the PLC, or how the first PLC came to be? Today you will learn the story of Richard “Dick” Morley, commonly referred to as the “Father” of the PLC. • Morley had a clear idea of what he wanted the controller to be like. • First, he wanted no interrupts for processing. This means that nothing should be able to interrupt the program unless it is programmed to do so. • Second, he wanted direct mapping into a memory. This would allow an easier way to program the data tables and information into the PLC. • Next, no software handling of repetitious chores. The controller should be able to run a sequence and repeat itself however it is programmed. • Next, he wanted it to operate slowly. This, Morley would later regret. • Morley also wanted a rugged design that really worked in the industrial settings. It had to be completely sealed and cooled with a well-engineered heat transferring. • He also wanted a language that would be proprietary to Bedford Associates. He wanted the exclusive rights to the language. This would lead to the development of ladder logic, and we know now that it is more of a universal language for technicians and engineers. • • ========================== • Missed our most recent videos?
