Programmable logic controllers (PLC) save time, money, and energy in process control systems. They simplify systems. A brief history of manufacturing processes sets the stage for how to use modern ICs ...

The programmable logic controller (PLC) is a microprocessor-based system that accepts input data from switches and sensors, processes that data by making decisions in accordance with a stored program, ...

The world has faced many geopolitical, environmental, economic, and technological changes over the past several years, and with these have come new learnings and opportunities to refine our practices ...

There are various approaches to developing programmable logic controller (PLC) applications using experimental techniques. Modifying existing PLC ladder logic programs is another common approach ...

IndraLogic XLC (eXtended Logic Control) PLC includes editor tools, object orientation as an extension to IEC 61131-3, comprehensive function libraries, and fast compilers for efficient generation of ...

Engineers and developers looking for a programmable logic controller (PLC) might be worth checking out the new CANADUINO Arduino MEGA 2560 compatible PLC which has been created by Universe Solder ...

Industrial automation technologies have made manufacturing processes increasingly more efficient. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are commonly used in industrial automation, and many of these ...

How PLCs enable automated systems to be altered via software rather than hardware changes. Why PACs are often used when integrating capabilities such as safety, motion, distributed I/O, and network ...

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are the backbone of modern industrial automation, orchestrating critical operations across diverse sectors. As these controllers become increasingly complex, ...

When learning ladder logic, I was told that some new PLC systems were moving to scripted programming languages. My instructor assured us that we would not need to know anything other than ladder logic ...

While PLCs (programmable logic controllers) are an industry norm, demands for data, memory, and processing power are intensifying. Soon enough, the PLCs may no longer be the go-to industrial computer.

Industrial controller redundancy improves system availability, but only if it is implemented with the right capabilities. In many cases, conventional wisdom tells us that if one is good then two are ...
