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 ...

New programmable logic controller (PLC) products researched and developed independently were launched by Shanghai Baosight Software Co Ltd on Friday in Shanghai, a major step in localization and ...

THE use of function blocks for programming of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) is gaining wider acceptance. Rather than the classic “contact and coil” representation of ladder diagram or relay ...

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 ...

Dan Shapiro’s Robot Turtles board game Kickstarter showed there is serious appetite for kids’ games that aren’t just fun to play with but also sneakily teach core coding principles. Instead of the $25 ...

Rewriting logic is a versatile and expressive framework that unifies the specification of concurrent systems with formal reasoning about their behaviour. It allows researchers and practitioners to ...

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 ...
