Chose one of those PDF files on this site
http://www.automation.siemens.com/logo/html_76/products/02Applications/index.html
there are dozens of "ideas about automation in PLC"....
You know, AB is not the only PLC maker (well, in Wisconsin maybe), but there is also Toshiba, Panasonic, Siemens, GE, Omron, Mitsubishi, Klöckner Möller, Unitronics.......

PLC can be suitably programmed to run almost any process automatically. It would need sensor inputs, input interfaces and output interface circuits. PLC are used even for controlling electrical energy consumption in residential buildings.
