Threat groups who target operational technology (OT) networks have so far focused their efforts on defeating segmentation layers to reach field controllers such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs ...

Control systems are the backbone of a modern automated manufacturing plant, but their longer-term value lies not just in the moment-to-moment control, but in the deeper evaluation of how systems ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Historically, motion controllers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and industrial personal computers (PCs), which ...

There are various approaches to developing programmable logic controller (PLC) applications using experimental techniques. Modifying existing PLC ladder logic programs is another common approach ...

Discussion of controllers in the continuous process industries typically centers on distributed control systems (DCSs). However, programmable logic controllers (PLCs) play as important a role in the ...

Over the past decade, the functionality of different control systems has been merging. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) now have capabilities once found only in distributed control systems (DCSs) ...
