When electronics release the Magic Smoke, more often than not it’s a fairly sedate event. Something overheats, the packaging gets hot enough to emit that characteristic and unmistakable odor, and ...

Researchers have devised a new malware attack against industrial programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that takes advantage of architectural shortcomings in microprocessors and bypasses current ...

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 ...

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, ...

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are the backbone of modern industrial automation, orchestrating critical operations across diverse sectors. As these controllers become increasingly complex, ...

For a plant-based paper shredding system to run smoothly and produce the desired tonnage, dozens of mechanisms need to be running correctly and be synchronized with one another. One misstep and the ...

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 ...

A programmable logic controller (PLC) is an industrial solid-state computer that monitors inputs and outputs, and makes logic-based decisions for automated processes or machines. 1. The image above is ...

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and microcontrollers (MCUs) are becoming ubiquitous in the automation of a wide range of industrial and consumer applications. The PLC Laboratory houses six state ...
