A programmable logic controller (PLC) is an industrial solid-state computer that monitors inputs and outputs, and makes logic-based decisions for automated processes or machines. 1. The image above is ...

While programmable logic controllers (PLCs) have long been the cornerstone of industrial control systems due to their robustness in harsh environments, industrial PCs (IPCs) are increasingly bridging ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Allen-Bradley Micro850 and Micro870 programmable logic controller (PLC) systems use Class 1 implicit messaging capability for connectivity and design efficiency. Rockwell Automation expanded the ...

We’re all used to general purpose microcontroller boards such as the Arduino or its many imitators, but perhaps we don’t see as much of their industrial cousins. A programmable logic controller (PLC) ...

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 ...
