Programmable controllers have become the primary automation method for many industries, providing reliable, easily-modified control. In addition to discrete and process functions, controllers also perform complex tasks such as motion control, data logging, and high-level communication.
Category Selection
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) contain the hardware and software used for the automation of industrial electromechanical processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides, or food processing. They are designed for multiple arrangements of digital and analog inputs and outputs and are built for industrial environments with extended temperature ranges, immunity to electrical noise, and resistance to vibration and impact.
Three unique PLC families meet industry demands and are constantly evolving to meet or exceed your needs:
In recent years, open-source controllers have made headway into the industrial realm, partly due to the extremely attractive price tag. These microcontrollers are very inexpensive, small, and typically consist of a single integrated circuit containing a processor, memory, and I/O. Off-the-shelf open-source controllers were originally designed for students and hobbyists, and using one in an industrial setting is just downtime waiting to happen. For those looking to incorporate open-source control into their industrial applications, the ProductivityOpen Arduino-based industrialized controller is the solution.
