This tutorial offers an in-depth introduction into programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The article starts with an overview of the history and the role PLCs in factory automation. The basic ...
The guys over at hackshed have been busy. [Carl] is making programmable logic design easy with an 8 part CPLD tutorial. (March 2018: Link dead. Try the Wayback Machine.) Programmable logic devices are ...
Two new controllers have joined the Jazz 2 Series, the JZ20-R16 and JZ20-R10. The controllers feature 48K (virtual) ladder-logic memory and a built-in mini USB programming port. The controllers can ...
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) were more of a technology evolution than a radical development. A noteworthy aspect about the origin was that quite similar concepts were pursued by three ...
A programmable logic controller (PLC) is actually an “industrial computer” that can work stably in complex environments. It can process switching signals, digital signals, analog signals, etc. from ...
The DirectLOGIC 06 (DL06) programmable logic controller (PLC) is our first micro PLC to combine its fixed I/O of 20 inputs and 16 outputs with four option card slots for expansion (discrete, analog, ...
As engineers, we often need to design a customized control system or interface to address a need which can”t be met with an off-the-shelf interface device. In the used-to-be days, we”d get a Bud box, ...
