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 ...

Industrial control systems have grown increasingly complex, requiring faster response times, more adaptability, and seamless integration with digital ...

As the title suggests, I'm looking for something to help me learn the basics of PLC programming. We're looking to develop the ability to do it in-house rather than wait for a contractor to come in and ...

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 ...

Yokogawa Corporation of America is proud to announce a new addition to their temperature controller product line, the UTAdvanced™ Hybrid Controller. The UTAdvanced Hybrid Controller takes the superior ...

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 ...

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 ...
