When a PLC is used primarily to replace relays, timers, and counters, it's hard to beat the simplicity and usefulness of ladder diagram programming. Their ability to accept programming in ladder ...

If your usual tools are the Arduino and the Raspberry Pi, you might find it surprising that the industrial world tends to run on Programmable Logic Controllers, or PLCs. You can think of a PLC as 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 ...

In part one of this series, we looked at the PLC’s internal architecture, briefly discussed Ladder Logic programming, Human-Machine Interfaces, advantages of the PLC’s ability to react consistently ...

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 logic ...

You can download these software on your Windows PC and practice by creating different logic diagrams. The best part of these software is that you do not require any ...

The EZPLC is introducing a number of new revolutionary concepts. It has incredibly easy Drag-n-Drop programming software featuring our Patent Pending Free Flow Ladder Logic. It is also extremely light ...

As a global developer and manufacturer of Programmable Logic Controllers with onboard HMIs, Unitronics is proud to introduce the first member of their Jazz 2 Series - the JZ20-R31. With 48K (virtual) ...

Ladder logic uses switch or relay contacts to implement Boolean expressions. In years past, ladder logic was made possible with discrete relays and was sometimes termed “relay logic.” Today most ...
