The debate between programming languages revolves around the necessity of sticking to ladder logic for ease of troubleshooting versus adopting higher-level languages for enhanced functionality and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Have you ever found yourself deep into a complex PLC program, struggling to decipher the logic behind it? Frustrating, right? Well, what if I told you there’s a powerful tool that can not only ...

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 ...

Instructions in a program arranged in a prescribed order to solve a problem. Give a requirement to several programmers, each is likely to create different program logic. As long as the program works, ...
