It’s been nearly four years since we covered [Thiago]’s OpenPLC project. He never stopped working on it, and now it’s in a highly polished state. If you read our initial coverage of this project, it ...

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 ...

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 ...

Introduction to PLC programming with OpenPLC, the first fully open source Programmable Logic Controller on the Raspberry Pi, and Modbus examples with Arduino Uno and ESP8286 PLC programming is very ...

Abstract: Real hardware PLCs are quite pricey, and some-times are unaffordable for scientists/engineers to build up small testbeds, and conduct their experiments or academic researches. For all that, ...

PLC Counters and Timers provides an overview of the functions of counter and timer instructions in a PLC ladder logic program. Counter and timer instructions are internal features of a program that ...
