Home System Security And PLC

PLC and system security are interdependent terms. Yes, you cannot imagine home automation, automated system security or automation of any space without PLC or programmable logic controller. PLC is an industrial computer, a digitally operating electronic apparatus, used for automating machines or processes. It is the programmable memory that is the most important element in the controller. Internal storage of instructions happens in the programmable memory through implementation of specific functions via input/output modules (digital or analog) to control machines or processes. Inputs are monitored and decisions are made based on program or logic depending upon their state. Turning on and off or in short controlling of outputs then happen robotically, all in seconds! So, your system security works automatically by itself with your control. The glass break sensor recognizes sound patterns of breaking glass and reduces false alarms. The audio and flashing light alarms in the siren horn are again integrated system security examples that function via the PLC. This is the magic of PLC. Motor controller, touch screen / plates / panels, and more systems fall under the scope of PLC.

When we speak about home Security System, the scope encompasses more than just glass break sensors or siren horns. CCTV cameras (analog/digital, interior/outdoors), door locks, access control systems, etc. – these are integral parts of home system security, a connected part of home automation. Automating your home to a safe and secured place is worth the investment. And there can be no better solutions provider than Smart Automation Technologies.
