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 ...

The modern programmable logic controller (PLC) is at the nexus of two debates that are taking place daily at opposite ends of the control-system spectrum. At one end is the debate over the ideal ...

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 ...

Rewriting logic is a versatile and expressive framework that unifies the specification of concurrent systems with formal reasoning about their behaviour. It allows researchers and practitioners to ...

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 ...
