HISTORY

Inthe1960s,electromechanicaldevicesweretheorderofthedayassfarascontrolwasconcerned.Thesedevices,commonlyknownasrelays,werebeingusedbythethousandstocontrolmanysequential-typemanufacturingprocessesandstand-alongmachines.Manyoftheserelayswereinuseinthetransportationindustry,morespecifically,theautomotiveindustry.Theserelaysusedhundredsofwiresandtheirinterconnectionstoeffectacontrolsolution.Theperformanceofarelaywasbasicallyreliable-atleastasasingledevice.Butthecommonapplicationsforrelaypanelscalledfor300to500ormorerelays,andthereliabilityandmaintenanceissuesassociatedwithsupportingthesepanelsbecameaverygreatchallenge.Costbecameanotherissue,forinspiteofthelowcostoftherelayitself,theinstalledcostofthepanelcouldbequitehigh.Thetotalcostincludingpurchasedparts,wiring,andinstallationlabor,couldrangefrom$30~$50perrelay.Tomakemattersworse,theconstantlychangingneedsofaprocesscalledforrecurringmodificationsofacontrolpanel.
