Introduction PLCs (programmable logic controllers) are used within the operational technology (OT) space, such as in the industrial control systems (ICS) that manage manufacturing, energy generation, and robotics. PLCs are often integrated into SCADA systems, where a PLC is used to monitor inputs (e.g. temperature) and adjust outputs (e.g. motors) of a control system.
