Arduino has released Arduino PLC IDE a new version of its IDE (integrated development environment) software for use with PLCs (programmable logic controllers). The software supports the use of Ladder ...

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 ...

If you’ve spent any time on a factory or plant floor, it is a good bet you’ve run into PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers). These are rugged computers that do simple control and monitoring functions ...

The following tutorial will explain how to transform the potential of popular microcontrollers into programmable logic controllers (PLCs). This primer is for those who want to begin learning about ...

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 ...
