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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

For PLC programming, U.S control engineers and technicians turn typically to ladder logic, a programming technique that’s been around since the birth of programmable logic controllers, or PLCs, in the ...

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 ...
