An overview of the hardware and software components of PLCs and their programming languages. A programmable logic controller (PLC) is an industrial solid-state computer that monitors inputs and ...

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 ...

Applied Technology: Programmable Logic Controllers for Broadcast Engineers Sep 1, 2014 3:53 PM, Dennis Sloatman As engineers, we often need to design a customized control system or interface to ...

In part one of the series, I discussed the essentials of PLCs, took a brief look at the internal structure of the PLC, considered programming methods — the most common of which is “Ladder Logic,” and ...

A programmable logic controller (PLC) is a computer designed to automate industrial machinery, and comes with protected interfaces and usually a specific PLC programming environment.

Though PLC (programmable logic controller) programming languages may not receive the attention that general computing programming languages, such as JavaScript, C#, or Python do, they remain critical ...

The programmable logic controller (PLC) is a microprocessor-based system that accepts input data from switches and sensors, processes that data by making decisions in accordance with a stored program, ...

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 ...
