Anz was playing Jeopardy and the answer was as Kalle indicated. Anz gave the correct question.

I know it but I won't tell it. I'm afraid that here is, somewhere, a PLC extremist.

Possably the real question anz had in mind was: "How many posts can I get by asking this question?"

Anz, if your a student, and ONLY if yout a student, the answer your instructor is after is as stated above: Unitary, Modular, and Rack-mounted, and maybe Brick. However in my 20 years or so in playing with programmable controlls, I only hear these terms from newbies and/or students.

In reality there are more "types" of PLCs than you could shake a stick at.

You are absolutely right, Mordred, but I felt this classification was too advanced for inclusion the HNC curriculum!

Well its certainly too complicated for the electricians I have in this plant. Their favourite question used to be "Is the relays in the PLC sticking????"
