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 ...

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 ...

Basics of Ladder Logic provides an overview of the basic principles, structure, and symbols of ladder logic programming. This class introduces the components of ladder logic programming language used ...

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 ...

When we think about modernizing manufacturing, automation is the first thing that comes to mind, specifically in the form of robots and integrated lines of machines. But for Kenneth Tran, the founder ...

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 ...

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

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are used extensively throughout the world. Over time, they have advanced to become more user-friendly, efficient, smaller, and less expensive. Different types of ...
