Machine control for more complex processes
Machine control needs to evolve to handle ever more complex processes as operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) systems converge.
Three signs it might be time to upgrade a PLC
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are designed to last a long time, but even they have a shelf life. Three tips for knowing when to upgrade are highlighted as well as a cautionary tale.
Expanding edge control
Edge control can take many forms to access stranded data, with modern programmable logic controllers (PLCs) often the preferred alternative.
Taking the time out of function blocks
Software tools are speeding up the creation of IO-Link function blocks to enable the capture of more valuable process data from machine controllers.
