Historical background
Definition
a digitally operating electronic apparatus
which uses a programmable memory for the
internal storage of instructions for
implementing specific functions such as
logic, sequencing, timing, counting and
arithmetic to control, through digital or
analog input/output modules, various types
of machine or processes
Definition
as a microprocessor-based controller
that uses stored instruction in
programmable memory to implement
logic, sequencing, timing, counting, and
arithmetic control functions for controlling
machines and processes
