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 ...

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) have been used for decades to automate the world around us and PLCs will continue to be used for the foreseeable future. The truth is that PLCs were built for ...

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 ...

The programmable logic controller (PLC) is a microprocessor-based system that accepts input data from switches and sensors, processes that data by making decisions in accordance with a stored program, ...

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 ...

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 ...

These small controllers deliver cost savings and many advantages over traditional methods of control. Seems like everything is getting smaller-cheaper-faster these days. So why not go smaller while ...

The complete video training series encompasses various levels of training from entry level programming to advanced PLC functions and is available to anyone interested in learning about industrial ...

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 ...
