The sequencer instruction evolved from the mechanical drum switch, and it can handle complex sequencing control problems more easily than does the drum switch. Shift registers are often used to track parts on automated manufacturing lines by shifting either status or values through data files. So in this lesson you will be introduced to how PLC sequencer and shift register functions operate and how they can be applied to control problems.
