Below, we will list the top PLC manufacturers that are leading the PLC market at the moment. This should give a lot of insight to what are the most important trends and what is the actual path that they are building.
The HMI market has been in constant growth in the last two decades due to the increasing need of digitalization in the industry. This need for digitalization comes for many reasons. Between them is the cost reduction of replacing the old indicator lights, push buttons, and other physical hardware. Besides, it would save a […]
I. Introduction Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) such as Allen-Bradley’s SLC 500 Modular or Fixed style hardware are designed with capability of self-diagnostics. With Self-diagnostics, the controller is able to detect the operational status of every member module and report this externally through varying behavior of built-in LED indicators and internally via the diagnostic buffer. II. […]
