With Open Core Engineering, KAT engineers can now perform full programming control in the LabView environment without having to create PLC code in a separate program. Source: Bosch Rexroth. Kraus ...

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 ...

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 ...

An HVAC company in search of modern machine-control advantages finds an Arduino-compatible open PLC controller is the solution. Like many modern-day makers and hobbyists, I have always been inspired ...

Recently I became interested in PLC programming. I'm not planning on working in this field on building a career, just want to play with a bit. I've some background in software development and ...

As engineers, we often need to design a customized control system or interface to address a need which can”t be met with an off-the-shelf interface device. In the used-to-be days, we”d get a Bud box, ...

In the era of Industry 4.0, manufacturing is undergoing a major transformation. Companies are moving away from traditional production processes toward intelligent and automated systems that enhance ...

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 ...

As OEMs continue to move toward leaner design, operator interfaces have evolved into replacements such as automated panels for PLCs in many machine applications. So what are the differences between ...
