This PLC shift registers tutorial by http://www.bin95.com explains the common programmable logic control function called FIFO. This is just a small, low resolution sample from DVD 9 of the 10 DVD PLC Training Video Course Library. The actually DVDs have much better quality and details.
(FIFO is First In, First Out control data.)
Industries that might be interested in this video are ...
Manufacturing, Aerospace, Printing Industry, Food Industry, Textile, Corrugating, Plastics Industry, Foundries and similar industries using industrial controls.
Examples of machines PLCs control are ...
Complete manufacturing system, manufacturing plant, extruder, silo, corrugators, converting machine, remote water pump stations, Offset press, CNC, lathe, Filling machine, industrial washing machine, textile shrinkage system, boiler, fabrication, refining, vision systems, motion control, assembly machine, stamping machine, packaging equipment, injection molding, robots, HVAC, temperature control, air compressors, strapper, stretch wrap machine and other warehouse equipment like conveyors, palletizers, sorters etc.
Some widely used, but lesser known uses of the PLC are ...
Escalator, safety control, lifts, elevators in the travel industry and others. Use for Boilers and fan changeover systems in hospitals might be know, but they also control incinerators. They are also used in the film industry and agriculture, even in space stations. Also used in vacation spots for train control, roller coaster ride (amusement rides), lighting fixtures, ships, and other automation control. They control cities, water treatment, electrical power transmission (nuclear, wind turbine, wind farms, and solar too), bridges, tunnel air, civil defense siren systems, oil and gas pipelines and traffic lights.
When people say "Computers control the world we live in." they don't know most is by a little, fast and highly reliable computer called a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).
Note: Rare uses of the PLC are Christmas lights, pinball machine, 55 gallon drum barbeque, home security, model train sets, dance room lighting and garage door openers.
