Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are the workhorse computing systems that help to coordinate and harmonize functions performed by the multitude of sensors, actuators, conveyors and many other ...

With the venerable programmable logic controller (PLC) marking its 40th anniversary last year, I got to thinking about its timeline. It goes way back in my engineering career - the career before my ...

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 ...

Article covers the issue of PLC processing power estimation techniques. Absence of universal methods entailed need to elaborate specialized synthetic benchmark. By simulating representative workload, ...

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and microcontrollers (MCUs) are becoming ubiquitous in the automation of a wide range of industrial and consumer applications. The PLC Laboratory houses six state ...

He frequently uses Programmable Logic Controllers at work but had never built one himself. He decided to undertake the project at home and managed to build a PLC that outputs 120V AC or 12 V DC ...
