Industrial control systems have grown increasingly complex, requiring faster response times, more adaptability, and seamless integration with digital ...

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 ...

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 ...

How to choose between programmable logic controllers and industrial PCs. While programmable logic controllers (PLCs) have long been the cornerstone of industrial control systems due to their ...

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 ...

Dan Shapiro’s Robot Turtles board game Kickstarter showed there is serious appetite for kids’ games that aren’t just fun to play with but also sneakily teach core coding principles. Instead of the $25 ...

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? Automating the factory floor is a growing trend ...
