现代PLC大多数都采用了通信、网络技术，有RS232或RS485接口，可进行远程I/O控制，多台PLC可彼此间联网、通信，外部器件与一台或多台可编程控制器的信号处理单元之间，实现程序和数据交换，如程序转移、数据文档转移、监视和诊断。
通信接口或通信处理器按标准的硬件接口或专有的通信协议完成程序和数据的转移。如西门子S7-200的Profibus现场总线口，其通信速率可以达到12Mbps。
在系统构成时，可由一台计算机与多台PLC构成“集中管理、分散控制”的分布式控制网络，以便完成较大规模的复杂控制。通常所说的SCADA系统，现场端和远程端也可以采用PLC作现场机。
5、人机界面功能
提供操作者以监视机器/过程工作必需的信息。允许操作者和PC系统与其应用程序相互作用，以便作决策和调整。
实现人机界面功能的手段：从基层的操作者屏幕文字显示，到单机的CRT显示与键盘操作和用通信处理器、专用处理器、个人计算机、工业计算机的分散和集中操作与监视系统。
6、编程、调试等
使用复杂程度不同的手持、便携和桌面式编程器、工作站和操作屏，进行编程、调试、监视、试验和记录，并通过打印机打印出程序文件。
二、可编程控制器的主要特点
1、可靠性高
PLC的MTBF一般在40000～50000h以上，西门子、ABB、松下等微小型PLC可达10万h以上，而且均有完善的自诊断功能，判断故障迅速，便于维护。
2、模块化组合灵活
