What Are the Differences Between CNC and PLC?

What Are the Differences Between CNC and PLC?

The differences between CNC and PLC can be seen as a competition for the “strongest brain” in the automation era. On the assembly line of smart factories, CNC machines are carving metal parts with a precision of 0.001mm, while the PLC system coordinates the operation of robotic arms, conveyor belts, and inspection instruments in real-time. … Read more

Your Air Conditioner: Is There a Micro PLC Inside?

Your Air Conditioner: Is There a Micro PLC Inside?

When the air conditioner quietly increases the fan speed in the middle of the night, or automatically starts the defrosting program when the outdoor unit frosts over—these seemingly simple actions are backed by a sophisticated industrial-grade control system. It is the “brain” of factory automation production lines: a miniaturized version of a PLC (Programmable Logic … Read more

Understanding Dry and Wet Contacts in Industrial PLCs

Understanding Dry and Wet Contacts in Industrial PLCs

A PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) consists of hardware components such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), memory, I/O (Input/Output interfaces), power module, and communication module. Among these, the I/O interface is a critical component that connects the controller to external devices, responsible for signal input (Input) and output (Output). Below, we will discuss dry contact … Read more

Fault Analysis and Countermeasures for Siemens PLCs

Fault Analysis and Countermeasures for Siemens PLCs

The Siemens S5 series PLCs commonly found in the industrial market in China include three main models: U-type (general-purpose), W-type (word processing), and R-type (switching). Different models of PLCs exhibit different fault manifestations and diagnostic methods. Among these, software faults can be resolved using Siemens-specific programming tools, as Siemens PLCs are equipped with communication PC … Read more
