A programmable logic controller (PLC) is a small industrial computer used to automate processes in manufacturing and industrial environments. Learning how to program a PLC can seem intimidating, especially because most commercial tools are expensive …
The demand for cleaner energy continues to grow. Renewable sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power are the solution. However, these advanced systems cannot run independently. They need a reliable control. This is …
If you’re just starting with PLC programming, one of the most frustrating moments is when you load your ladder logic and nothing happens. The motor doesn’t start, the light doesn’t switch on, and the process …
A Human-Machine Interface (HMI) talks to a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The HMI is the control screen that operators use to monitor and interact with processes. The PLC, on the other hand, is the brain …
In the world of industrial automation and control systems, machines must constantly exchange information to ensure smooth, safe, and efficient operation. The way they “talk” to each other is through signals. These signals transmit information …
A PID controller is the brain behind many automated processes. It helps a system automatically maintain a specific target, or “setpoint,” with great accuracy. Unlike a simple ON/OFF switch, which can cause large swings, a …
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), are the heart of modern automation. They control machines, manage processes, and keep factories running smoothly. One of the most important parts of a PLC system is the input module. Without …
Hot-swapping is the ability to replace or insert components in a system while it is still running and powered. This means there is no need to turn OFF the system or interrupt the process. In …
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) act as the central command system, they collect data from sensors, process control logic, and trigger actions that keep machines and production lines running. From automotive plants to food processing facilities, …
Modern elevators rely heavily on Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). A PLC is a digital control device that acts as the main “brain” of the elevator system. It processes signals from buttons, switches, and sensors. It …
