Today, Orbital ATK fired the latest of their five-segment solid rocket boosters (SRB's), at the test facility in Promontory, UTAH.
The center of the booster is supported by a large frame, and that frame is hydraulically controlled by a PLC, with a touchscreen interface.
It was built by a UTAH integrator, and shows up in the photos of the SRB.
This is the only known PLC in use on that test stand.
