CANopen Communication for PLCs: Network Interconnection for Various Industrial Devices

It is common to encounter situations in industrial settings where devices have dozens of sensors and actuators, each requiring individual wiring to the PLC. This not only takes a long time to wire but also increases the chances of errors, making troubleshooting particularly challenging later on. Today, let’s discuss AS-Interface bus technology, a fieldbus solution … Read more

How to Implement Color Sorting with PLC? Programming the Coordination of Photoelectric Sensors and Pneumatic Components

Today, let’s get straight to the point and discuss how to build a color sorting system using a PLC. Last month, I helped a beverage bottle recycling factory with a similar project, and the workshop technician said it was more than three times more stable than their previous system built with a microcontroller (and it … Read more
