MyMicroPLC is an open source, expandable, easy-to-use Programmable Logic Controller that will soon be available to purchase from the Crowd Supply website. MyMicroPLC is an PLC-type board equipped with ...

Engineers and developers looking for a programmable logic controller (PLC) might be worth checking out the new CANADUINO Arduino MEGA 2560 compatible PLC which has been created by Universe Solder ...

The project is designed to switch industrial loads using a user programmable logic control device for sequential operation. This operation is generally used for repetitive nature of work. Programmable ...

System integrators share their tips on the differences between PLCs, PACs, and Industrial PCs, including their best use cases and how to choose the right one for your environment. Allen-Bradley ...

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, ...

How PLCs enable automated systems to be altered via software rather than hardware changes. Why PACs are often used when integrating capabilities such as safety, motion, distributed I/O, and network ...

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 ...

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and programmable automation controllers (PACs) are industrial computers constructed and adapted for manufacturing environments. These computers are the brains of ...

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 ...
