FAQ: What’s the learning curve for programming a PLC?

April 7, 2017 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

PLC

The answer is… it depends. For starters, it depends on one’s level of programming experience. Either past PLC programming or computer programming in general, as well as the types of programming environments (visual or textual, for instance) one is used to. Someone with a good bit of programming experience will probably find the process easier […]

PLC versus safety PLC

September 9, 2016 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

All PLCs (programmable logic controllers) do essentially the same thing; control some machine process. Typical PLC functions include timing, control, and sequencing of such actions as turning motors, pumps or valves on or off. A safety PLC, on the other hand, is a dedicated controller specifically built and certified to meet safety requirements, such as […]

FAQ: Is a PLC fast enough to meet my application’s requirements?

August 18, 2016 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

Knowing if your PLC is fast enough and can handle your application is really a two-part process. That is, it can be looked at from two different but intertwined perspectives; one is from the PLC perspective and the other is from the application level. The most important factors are knowing the specifics of the application […]
