Electronics Corporation of India Ltd (ECIL) has developed the first of its kind Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), which it hopes will boost the security infrastructure in the country. The third generation MPROGICON 5000 power series system will be released tomorrow in Hyderabad.
The Hyderabad-based, public sector undertaking, will offer this economical, low power, industrial strength PLC to atomic energy, defence, aerospace and homeland security sectors, where security cannot be compromised.
PLCs are key components in automation. They help control all national infrastructure in energy, transport and manufacturing sectors.
At present, the Indian market is dominated by foreign brands, which due to commercial reasons do not expose their designs and software for verification. There have been problems of denials and end-user restrictions in the past.
In the case of ECIL’s product, it is amenable to full verification, validation by third party and will form an important component in achieving national self-reliance in automation, a release from the company said.
