Quote from: mcgee9t2 on 14 October 2010, 13:37Plc's are programable logic controllers. Basically like a small small computer (without screens or mouse ect thought) and you program them so that they react different ways according to different inputs or outputs. A loose way to describe it is a big IC chip (the type you find in circuit boards) that you can program and reprogram and reprogram over and over again, hold a lot more memory and can be used for a lot more things.Really horible lesson because we spend most of our time programing them when not one person on the course has to program plc's as part of there job. i dont even need to know anything about PLC's for my job, if we need a PLC puting in we get a contracted companie to decide the PLC suitable and program it.The course I do is 'BTEC L4 HNC electrical/electronic engineering'http://www.mbro.ac.uk/coursesearch/coursedisplay.aspx?CourseInformationID=2764 ladder diagrams ,half adders, full adders brings back fond sleepy memories nand and or nor xor zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
