Modern object-oriented programming techniques are transforming PLC programming, making industrial automation faster to build, easier to maintain and far less error prone.

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 ...

An HVAC company in search of modern machine-control advantages finds an Arduino-compatible open PLC controller is the solution. Like many modern-day makers and hobbyists, I have always been inspired ...

Aging programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are exposing power generation and industrial water facilities to growing ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Historically, motion controllers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and industrial personal computers (PCs), which ...

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 ...

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) run the automation systems that operate many assembly lines and conveyors in distribution centers. With the introduction of RFID, it’s critical to link tag data ...
