Atomic theory and programmable logic controller: what they have in common
- Step 1. Atomic theory — evolved into — Electron. The atom turned out to be divisible.
- Step 2. Electron — is used in — Electrical conduction. Current in metals is a flow of electrons.
- Step 3. Electrical conduction — is used in — Track circuit. The wheelset closes the circuit.
- Step 4. Track circuit — has part — Relay. Track relays.
- Step 5. Relay — evolved into — Programmable logic controller. It replaced relay cabinets.
