While PLCs (programmable logic controllers) are an industry norm, demands for data, memory, and processing power are intensifying. Soon enough, the PLCs may no longer be the go-to industrial computer.

The Arduino Opta micro programmable logic controller (PLC) provides a unique entry point into the automation field. Automation fields like smart homes, process controls, and robotics are project areas ...

But choosing a controller requires a series of decisions by the integrator or end user based on the application. A key controller decision revolves around which type of controller to use—a ...

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 temperat… ...

All this may sound straightforward, but some of the numbers are surprising, especially on a hyperscale project. For instance, the PLC control system on this particular site actively monitors and ...
