A programmable logic controller (PLC) is a modern device that can control the work process in a machine or an appliance. The operations involved in the work process are carried out by actuators such as electric motors, pneumatic actuators, hydraulic actuators, etc., which are controlled by final control elements such as contactors, solenoid valves, etc....

Relay-based Electro-hydraulic Systems
In the electrical actuation of a hydraulic valve, the necessary actuating force is obtained electrically with the help of a solenoid. The off-centre core of the solenoid coil is pulled towards the centre of the coil when the electric current is passed through it. This discrete movement of the core is used to actuate the...
