Ross, Charles & Son's SysCon’s programmable logic controller (PLC) system features a control panel with a wireless connection that allows users to access the PLC system using tablets, laptops, and ...
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 ...
Many plants today are celebrated as "modern" or "Industry 4.0" ready. Yet, if you open a control cabinet on the factory floor, you will frequently find a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) installed ...
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 ...
Virtual PLCs can automatically recover from hardware failures by restarting on another server, thereby eliminating the downtime and guesswork of physical PLC replacement. Running control logic in ...
Easing the burden of supporting multiple regions with one device, Texas Instruments (TI) announced a new power line communication (PLC) modem platform that supports the G3, PRIME and IEEE-1901.2 ...
Discussion of controllers in the continuous process industries typically centers on distributed control systems (DCSs). However, programmable logic controllers (PLCs) play as important a role in the ...
