B y any measure, there is an enormous number of programming languages. Some lists contain hundreds, while the Historical ...

In part one of this series, we looked at the PLC’s internal architecture, briefly discussed Ladder Logic programming, Human-Machine Interfaces, advantages of the PLC’s ability to react consistently ...

THE use of function blocks for programming of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) is gaining wider acceptance. Rather than the classic “contact and coil” representation of ladder diagram or relay ...

Value stream management involves people in the organization to examine workflows and other processes to ensure they are deriving the maximum value from their efforts while eliminating waste — of ...

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 ...

The optoelectronic logic element AND, OR and XOR is considered, the output signal of which can be inverted when the input control signal is applied, thereby converting the logic element into NAND, NOR ...

However, databases alone and cloud-based services, like serverless functions, that access them were not designed to handle ...
