This progressive user base is challenging traditional processes and tools. For example, in the industrial space, programmable logic controller (PLC) programming has historically been done using Ladder ...

That comes from operators doing the wrong thing, or from automation designed the wrong way,” says Woll. “One thing I’m seeing is a trend toward state logic control and away from block-oriented ...

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) provide an inexpensive and noise-free method of motion control. Ladder-logic programming has been a staple for PLCs, with newer models featuring human-machine ...

However, none of these benefits and configurations truly acted as logic programming, so operators or an external PLC were needed to trigger VFD actions. PLCs Gain Momentum Just as VFDs provided a ...

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 ...

Control logic is the set of rules and algorithms that govern the behavior and performance of a system. It can be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of both. Optimizing control ...
