The PLC functions which generate output signals according to logical operations performed on input signals are known as: Correct Answer control relay functions

Timing Functions:

  • Use this instruction to program a time delay after instructions become true.
  • On–delay timers are used when an action is to begin a specified time after the input becomes true.
  • For example, a certain step in manufacturing is to begin 45 seconds after a signal is received from a limit switch. The 45- seconds delay is the on-delay timer's preset value.
     

Control Relay Functions:

  • It generates output signals according to logical operations performed on input signals.
  • They are used to isolate one voltage level from another.
     

Arithmetic Functions: Programmable Logic Controller has arithmetic functions like Comparator, Mathematical, Logarithmic, etc.

Counting Functions: A counter is a PLC instruction that either increment (counts up) or decrements (counts down) an integer number value when prompted by the transition of a bit from 0 to 1 (“false” to “true”).

According to a recent notice from the Central Bank, several banks in Bangladesh have appended 'PLC' as a suffix to their names. What does the acronym 'PLC' stand for?
The question given below consists of a statement, followed by three arguments numbered I, II and III. You have to decide which of the arguments is/are ‘strong’ arguments and which is/are ‘weak’ arguments and accordingly choose your answer from the alternatives given below each question. Statement: The imposition of Governor’s rule in Jammu and Kashmir will not affect operations in the state, according to Army Chief General, even as security forces are looking at higher intensity of operations against terrorists, to force them to ‘hibernate’. These operations will be based on greater level of intelligence from the J&K Police, as compared to what was being generated during the suspension of operations for the holy month of Ramzan. A challenge, however, for the security forces still remains the recruitment of local terrorists. Why? Arguments: I. Meanwhile, data shared by security forces reveal that there are about 210 terrorists currently operating in Kashmir, mainly in the South. Out of this, 65 per cent are locals and the remaining are foreign terrorists.  II. In South Kashmir itself, the maximum number of terrorists belong to the HizbulMujahideen, while some are from the Lashkar-e-Toiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. III. When a local terrorist is killed during an operation, at his funeral more locals are willing to join terrorism. It is a mob mentality.
