An overview of the hardware and software components of PLCs and their programming languages. A programmable logic controller (PLC) is an industrial solid-state computer that monitors inputs and ...

Meet Primo: a physical programming interface that teaches children programming logic while they control the movements of an Arduino-powered robot. All of Primo's electronics are concealed inside ...

Though PLC (programmable logic controller) programming languages may not receive the attention that general computing programming languages, such as JavaScript, C#, or Python do, they remain critical ...

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 ...

When selecting a control system for your plant, there are a range of systems to choose from and many factors to consider. Some of the most discussed in recent years within the industrial automation ...

Picat is a new logic-based programming language. In many ways, Picat is similar to Prolog, especially B-Prolog, but it has functions in addition to predicates, pattern-matching instead of unification ...

Research from all publishers Recent advancements in rewriting logic focus on enhancing both the theoretical foundations and the practical applications in programming languages.

Though they may be used to achieve the same goal, motion-control and robotics systems go about it in different ways. So, what exactly sets them apart?
