A team of Indian students, which developed an artificial intelligence–based platform that simplifies industrial programmable ...

As engineers, we often need to design a customized control system or interface to address a need which can”t be met with an off-the-shelf interface device. In the used-to-be days, we”d get a Bud box, ...

When electronics release the Magic Smoke, more often than not it’s a fairly sedate event. Something overheats, the packaging gets hot enough to emit that characteristic and unmistakable odor, and ...

Two new controllers have joined the Jazz 2 Series, the JZ20-R16 and JZ20-R10. The controllers feature 48K (virtual) ladder-logic memory and a built-in mini USB programming port. The controllers can ...

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 ...

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are the backbone of modern industrial automation, orchestrating critical operations across diverse sectors. As these controllers become increasingly complex, ...

A Programmable Logic Controller, commonly known as a PLC, is a robust industrial computer designed to control manufacturing processes and machinery. Initially developed to replace relay logic systems, ...

The 20-point controller features embedded Ethernet and serial ports, and a microSD slot. Pulse-width modulation (PWM) output and recipe management makes it suitable for small machines, such as stretch ...
