Processor, Memory, and Hard Drive
Basic componets of a plc are: power supply, CPU(central prossesing unit), I/O CARDS ( INPUT/OUTPUT CARDS)
To protect the low voltage electronic components in the PLC from High Voltages/Currents such as in voltage spikes.
processor or central processing unit (CPU);rack or mounting;input assembly;output assembly;power supply;programming unit, device, or PC/software
All computers contain the same set of components so the question can not be answered specifically for a DELL.All of the components, or substantially all of the components are required to make the machine work. That said I would think that all of the components are main components.The processor, memory; those are considered the heart of the machine.

All the symbols in the relay logic represent actual components and contacts present in the system, but the inputs\outputinstructionin PLC ladder logic represent only data values stored in the PLC memory.
There are several components of the operating system which facilitate the proper functioning of a computer system. The main component if the kernel which is broken down into CPU, memory and other devices.
cache memory is neither main memory nor second memory. DDR's are Main memory and Disk is second memory.
The only thing that limits the number of inputs and output instructions is the size/amount of the PLC memory.
Having more than one memory bus in addition to the main bus has the main benefit of speeding up data transfer. A memory bus is used to transfer data to and from the memory, or from the CPU to other components. If you have more than one memory bus (say, for each of the peripheral devices you have), you will certainly have a faster data transfer because you computer will not need all the memory from your local bus (this connects all the components on the motherboard like the CPU and memory) when you use your peripheral devices. Presently, there is a variety of available bit-numbers of memory buses on the market, ranging from 32 bits, 64 bits, and 94 bits.
