If your usual tools are the Arduino and the Raspberry Pi, you might find it surprising that the industrial world tends to run on Programmable Logic Controllers, or PLCs. You can think of a PLC as a ...

When a PLC is used primarily to replace relays, timers, and counters, it's hard to beat the simplicity and usefulness of ladder diagram programming. Their ability to accept programming in ladder ...

In part one of this series, we looked at the PLC’s internal architecture, briefly discussed Ladder Logic programming, Human-Machine Interfaces, advantages of the PLC’s ability to react consistently ...

Virtual PLCs run control logic in software instead of hardware. Here's what that means for your manufacturing operation.

Though PLC (programmable logic controller) programming languages may not receive the attention that general computing programming languages, such as JavaScript, C#, or Python do, they remain critical ...

Indian Students Develop Award Winning AI Platform That Simplifies Industrial PLC Programming. New Delhi, March 7 (IANS) A team of Indian students, which developed an artificial intelligence–based ...

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

The logic solver is the decision engine of every Safety Instrumented System (SIS). It evaluates process inputs, applies voting logic, and initiates the action that ultimately reduces risk. Despite its ...

On the surface, a programmable logic controller (PLC) might seem like nothing more than a generic microcontroller, perhaps outfitted to operate in industrial settings with things like high ...
