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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A student team from Sona College of Technology, Salem, has won the Gold Cup at the Mitsubishi Electric Cup – 6th Edition (2026) for developing an artificial int ...

Salem, March 8 -- Team Nexus AI from Sona College of Technology, Salem, that developed an artificial intelligence-based platform that simplifies industrial PLC programming, won the Gold Cup at the ...

Ladder logic uses switch or relay contacts to implement Boolean expressions. In years past, ladder logic was made possible with discrete relays and was sometimes termed “relay logic.” Today most ...
