The main components of a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) memory include the program memory, which stores the user program and logic instructions; data memory, which holds variable data, statuses, and intermediate results; and input/output (I/O) memory, which manages the status of input devices and the control of output devices. Additionally, there may be a non-volatile memory component to retain data and programs during power loss. Together, these components enable the PLC to execute control processes effectively.
Processor, Memory, and Hard Drive
Basic componets of a plc are: power supply, CPU(central prossesing unit), I/O CARDS ( INPUT/OUTPUT CARDS)
Memory in a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is typically organized into several distinct areas: program memory, data memory, and I/O memory. Program memory stores the ladder logic or other programming languages used to control the PLC, while data memory holds variables, timers, counters, and other data needed for processing. I/O memory manages the input and output operations, interfacing with sensors and actuators. This structured organization allows for efficient execution and management of control tasks in industrial automation.
To protect the low voltage electronic components in the PLC from High Voltages/Currents such as in voltage spikes.
The three essential components of a process that demands space allocation from main memory are the process control block (PCB), which stores information about the process state and scheduling; the process's code or text segment, containing the executable instructions; and the data segment, which includes variables and dynamic memory allocations. Additionally, the stack segment is crucial for managing function calls and local variables. Together, these components ensure the process can execute efficiently and manage its resources within the main memory.

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.
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.
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.
