Abstract：Equipment control in iron and steel field is usually performed by programmable logic controller (PLC). With the deepening of industrial intelligent transformation, PLC based on hardware cannot meet the needs of intelligent manufacturing. Therefore, a software-defined control system based on 5G cloud architecture is proposed. The system architecture, 5G communication network and cloud platform of software defined PLC are deeply studied, and the feasibility of cloud-based software-defined PLC control is verified through actual scenarios. The practical application results show that the system meets the requirements of high-performance access, transmission, calculation and storage of the industrial plant control system, and realizes the ability of unified cloud management and control of the whole process of industrial automation production.
