All About PLCs: Networking and Communications

Learn about the modules and systems that provide a network connection to the outside world, transforming traditional PLCs into true, modern process automation controllers (PAC). The name PLC is going to stick around for a very long time. No matter what capabilities are contained inside an industrial controller, whether that includes I/O, networking, or even … Read more

Comparing SLC and ControlLogix PLCs: An In-Depth Review

The SLC 500 PLC family dominated automation control for well over thirty years and now, with the recent discontinuation of most of the series, we look at the differences between SLC and modern Logix PLCs. If you have worked in the automation industry in any facet over the last thirty years, especially in North America, … Read more

All About PLCs: Input/Output Modules

If your facility or workplace uses a PLC, it’s almost certainly because it must interface with physical input and output devices. What kinds of I/O modules exist, and how can you tell the difference? Out of all the sub-system components that make up a PLC, and throughout the world of computers in general, the I/O … Read more

All About PLCs: The Power Supply Unit

Learn all about the power supply: modular and built-in devices that deliver electricity to the PLC backplane and modules, and learn the difference between control and field device power delivery. Nearly every electronic device has some form of conversion from line voltage down to an appropriate voltage and form for its own use. Cell phones … Read more

What is a Safety PLC?

This article investigates the basic qualities that make up a safety PLC, what distinguishes a safety PLC from a standard model, and the reasons for which a safety PLC may be critical. Programmable logic controllers, or PLCs, are a very common type of controller used in automation. They are the baseline of many different automated … Read more

Understanding Binary Numbers in PLCs

This article introduces how the binary system is used in PLC programming and covers why this number system works so well in this area of system control. Modern control systems almost always use some form of digital control — most often in the form of a PLC. These computers rely on the use and understanding … Read more

Introduction to Distributed Control Systems (DCS)

Distributed control systems (DCS) evolved out of control systems for facilities, but their scope can be difficult to fully understand. This article explores the role of a DCS and how it fits in with PLCs and PACs. The early days of machine control centers were limited by the fairly basic capabilities of the CPUs inside … Read more

PLC Sequencer Logic: An Overview

This article discusses PLC Sequencer Logic and the steps needed to accomplish PLC sequencing. PLCs have a set of inputs from sensors on which logical, and mathematical operations can be done. The output of the PLC is used to control the operating characteristics of the machine or process to which it is connected. Industrial PLC … Read more
