Programmable Logic Controller technology has changed a lot over the years and there is a real need for informative websites like this one, that help businesses and manufacturers keep up on the latest technical advances in the PLC world. By today’s standards, the PLC of the early 70’s developed for the automotive industry was little more than child’s play and there is no prediction on how far the automation of electromechanical processes can and will be taken in the future.
The PLC-2 has always been a workhorse and in these economic times many manufacturers are more interested in upgrading plant operations by converting PLC-2 to PLC-5 and SLC-500 rather than trying to push brand new PLC purchases through budget committees.
Replacement components and add-ons for PLC-2 and PLC-3 are also hot items these days.
The ControlLogix controllers are also very much in demand because of their flexibility in capacity, the I/O modules and communication interfaces. Whereas the CompactLogix Systems are used for smaller machine control applications but still use the same ladder logic and have user friendly local programmability.
A major part of competitiveness in today’s marketplace is of course the cost-effective micro-control and high performance of Micrologix in the Micrologix 1000, Micrologix 1200 and Micrologix 1500 as you’ll see in looking through each of these categories. Also on this site you’ll find information and product resources for the Siemens S5′s or Siemens S5 Sematic, known for their linking, saving, loading & transferring, comparing, counting, arithmetic functions and module operations.
And we have the latest information and products for the Siemens S7, capable of performing the connecting functions, downloading and uploading capabilities these are noted for.
So take advantage of this site’s localized dedication to the PLC world.
