Ladder logic uses switch or relay contacts to implement Boolean expressions. In years past, ladder logic was made possible with discrete relays and was sometimes termed “relay logic.” Today most ...

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 ...

Industrial automation technologies have made manufacturing processes increasingly more efficient. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are commonly used in industrial automation, and many of these ...

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 ...

The debate between programming languages revolves around the necessity of sticking to ladder logic for ease of troubleshooting versus adopting higher-level languages for enhanced functionality and ...

There are various approaches to developing programmable logic controller (PLC) applications using experimental techniques. Modifying existing PLC ladder logic programs is another common approach ...

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are used extensively throughout the world. Over time, they have advanced to become more user-friendly, efficient, smaller, and less expensive. Different types of ...

Basics of Ladder Logic provides an overview of the basic principles, structure, and symbols of ladder logic programming. This class introduces the components of ladder logic programming language used ...

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 ...
