PLC programming languages are an indispensable tool for creating control programs for automation systems. However, there are many different types of PLC programming languages, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. So how do you choose the right programming language for your project? This article will help you compare the most popular PLC programming languages, […]
In the automation control system, the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) acts as the “brain” that controls the entire process in the production line. However, for the PLC to interact with the user, it needs a bridge, which is the input/output interface. The I/O interface ensures that the PLC can collect information from sensors and control […]
Communication ports in PLC play an important role as a bridge, helping devices in industrial automation systems communicate and exchange data effectively. Choosing the right communication port with the required data transmission speed is extremely important. This article will provide an overview of common types of communication ports, how to choose and note when using […]
Ladder logic programming is one of the five commonly used languages in PLCs. They are inspired by conventional electrical relay circuits and further developed to optimize many complex industrial processes such as assembly lines, conveyors, packaging, machinery and equipment manufacturing, etc. It can be said that ladder logic is the program that is preferred over […]
In the era of Industry 4.0, the application of PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) to automation systems has become a standard in most industries. The central processing unit (CPU) plays the role of the “brain” that controls the entire operation of the system. Let’s explore the CPU in detail as well as its role in optimizing […]
Safety PLC or safety programmable logic controller is a device widely used in other industrial automation factories. This device has the same operating principle as other standard PLCs but is updated with additional operating features such as timely and accurate monitoring and error detection. It is possible to say that safety PLC is a more […]
The PID (Proportional, Integral, Derivative) controller is a popular control algorithm that plays an important role in industrial control systems. They are widely used and applied to maintain variables in the system such as temperature, pressure, flow or speed at a stable and accurate level. What is the PID Controller?PID operates based on three main […]
Counters and Timers are important and common functions in PLC programming, they allow time control and tracking of the number of events in the entire automation system. These functions help to optimize the process, reduce system complexity, and bring high accuracy and efficiency. To learn more, let’s explore the characteristics, features, advantages and disadvantages, and […]
