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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Aging programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are exposing power generation and industrial water facilities to growing ...

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 ...

Value stream management involves people in the organization to examine workflows and other processes to ensure they are deriving the maximum value from their efforts while eliminating waste — of ...

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 ...

Picat is a new logic-based programming language. In many ways, Picat is similar to Prolog, especially B-Prolog, but it has functions in addition to predicates, pattern-matching instead of unification ...
