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

In Part III of this series, we examined PLC programming methods (ladder logic and functional block diagram), and how the objects (coils and contacts) are system variables stored in the PLCs memory. We ...

OpenPLC is an open-source industrial controls platform that allows the transformation of popular microcontrollers into a programmable logic controller (PLC). OpenPLC is a fully functional open-source ...

The following tutorial will explain how to transform the potential of popular microcontrollers into programmable logic controllers (PLCs). This primer is for those who want to begin learning about ...

Industrial manufacturers must often attempt to forecast equipment requirements when installing a new system or building a new factory. Projecting communication ...
