Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are used extensively throughout the world. Over time, they have advanced to become more user-friendly, efficient, smaller, and less expensive. Different types of ...

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 ...

A click to a reverse shell in OpenPLC and ladder logic OR Why you shouldn’t run everything as root in PLC and RTUs. We test a lot of industrial control equipment. We have noted that the main PLC ...

On the surface, a programmable logic controller (PLC) might seem like nothing more than a generic microcontroller, perhaps outfitted to operate in industrial settings with things like high ...

When learning ladder logic, I was told that some new PLC systems were moving to scripted programming languages. My instructor assured us that we would not need to know anything other than ladder logic ...

This project involves the design and implementation of an Automated Manufacturing System, simulated in a 3D environment using Factory I/O and controlled by a Modicon M221 PLC (TM221CE16R). The system ...
