The programmable logic controller (PLC) is an important component in most modern automation and process control systems today. It's also susceptible to lightning-induced transients. To verify the ...

Most industrial engineers are familiar and comfortable knowing that a local, hardened, industrial grade PLC is controlling their process. That’s why control via cloud-based algorithms is, to say the ...

Over the past decade, the functionality of different control systems has been merging. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) now have capabilities once found only in distributed control systems (DCSs) ...

In this paper, the authors monitor and control the PLC based system using wireless technology. In this paper, they are going to use a ZIGBEE and SCADA technology to get wireless automation system.

Consider the features and typical applications for industrial controllers to understand what type of controller fits each application. Do you need a programmable logic controller (PLC), programmable ...
