# Industrial Specification: PLC Control Unit

## 1. Technical Definition
A modular electronic device that houses the central processing unit, memory, and input/output interfaces for a Programmable Logic Controller system.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-60°C ambient temperature, 85-264 VAC input voltage, 0-95% relative humidity non-condensing**. Failure boundary: **Ambient temperature exceeding 70°C causes CPU thermal shutdown, input voltage below 80VAC or above 275VAC triggers protection circuit disconnection**, Mechanism: **Semiconductor junction temperature exceeding 125°C causes thermal runaway in silicon transistors, leading to permanent damage to CMOS logic gates and memory cells**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Joule Heating & Thermal Resistance**:

> **Primary Equation**: $P = I^2 R = \frac{V^2}{R}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Governs heating element sizing for shrink tunnels/sealers.
