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 ...

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 ...

Low-code and modular programming environments are transforming PLC programming, with vendors providing pre-packaged libraries and objects that eliminate traditional IEC-61131-3 style coding, allowing ...

A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is a specialized computing system widely used to control real-time industrial processes and assemblies. The block diagram of a generic PLC is shown in Figure 1.

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

The programmable logic controller (PLC) is an important component in most modern automation and process control systems today. It's also susceptible to lightning-induced transients. To verify the ...
