The programmable logic controller (PLC) is an important component in most modern automation and process control systems today. It's also susceptible to lightning-induced transients. To verify the ...

Virtual PLCs can automatically recover from hardware failures by restarting on another server, thereby eliminating the downtime and guesswork of physical PLC replacement. Running control logic in ...

Discussion of controllers in the continuous process industries typically centers on distributed control systems (DCSs). However, programmable logic controllers (PLCs) play as important a role in the ...

Industrial automation projects tend to use standardized components and employ common features for good reasons, primarily to promote simplicity and re-usability. But occasionally, technology ...

A PLC or programmable logic controller is a type of computer often employed to monitor and control industrial manufacturing operations. The device, which you may see referred to as a programmable ...

It’s surprising how much of an impact such a small component as a programmable logic controller (PLC) can have on the smooth operation of a hyperscale data center. While people rarely see it, the PLC ...

PLC and HMI Modernization. A central element of any migration is the conversion and optimization of control logic—including ladder, structured text, and function block programming—to integrate ...
