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 ...

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 ...

For many small and mid-sized factory managers, the question often arises: "Can programmable logic controllers (PLCs) actually help my facility save money, or are they just for the industry giants?" In ...

System integrators share their tips on the differences between PLCs, PACs, and Industrial PCs, including their best use cases and how to choose the right one for your environment. Allen-Bradley ...

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 ...

The company’s Custom PLC Interface Module program aims to improve device and field connectivity in a range of Industry 4.0 applications. Interface modules are ...

The LS Electric XGB PLC family is designed to be versatile for flexible configurations. Users can choose to use a single PLC unit as a standalone controller with 32 built-in I/O points. Alternatively, ...

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

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 ...
