When a PLC is used primarily to replace relays, timers, and counters, it's hard to beat the simplicity and usefulness of ladder diagram programming. Their ability to accept programming in ladder ...
The most common way to program early PLCs was using so-called ladder logic programming. Basically, a ladder logic diagram was a graphical way of representing the functions in a typical PLC and the ...

IL is gone, but Ladder remains—why does PLC Ladder logic survive even in the era of Structured Text?
"Ladder is outdated. The future of PLCs is Structured Text (ST)."In the world of FA, you sometimes see this kind of ...
In my previous article, I wrote about my journey from when I first started working with PLCs to my time in maintenance, ...
Ladder logic uses switch or relay contacts to implement Boolean expressions. In years past, ladder logic was made possible with discrete relays and was sometimes termed “relay logic.” Today most ...
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 ...
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 ...
PLCs (programmable logic controllers) are the control hubs for a wide variety of automated systems and processes. They contain multiple inputs and outputs that use transistors and other circuitry to ...
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 ...
