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.

Digital/binary sensors and switches are essential for signal monitoring and system control in industrial control, industrial automation, motor control, and process automation. All the sensors’ outputs ...

Basic Programming for PLCs provides an overview of the basic principles, structure, and instructions of PLC programming. Most PLC programs use instructions written in ladder logic, which is a ...

Have you ever found yourself deep into a complex PLC program, struggling to decipher the logic behind it? Frustrating, right? Well, what if I told you there’s a powerful tool that can not only ...

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 ...

Recently I became interested in PLC programming. I'm not planning on working in this field on building a career, just want to play with a bit. I've some background in software development and ...

This paper attempts a journey right from configuring a PLC, writing application program to code generation along with run-time configurations and RTOS abstraction for embedding it into PLC hardware ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. One of the key parts of automation is observing variation, and a process’ ability to control it. Reducing variation ...

A relationship with touch-screen maker HMI Products LLC, marketers of Beijer’s H-Series touch screens, has led to the development of a touch screen with I/O solution that enables programming of a ...

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