Differences Between Microcontroller and PLC Programming

Differences Between Microcontroller and PLC Programming

Teacher Liao Changchu A university teacher told me: “Recently, while reviewing students’ graduation theses, I found that some students drew flowcharts for PLC programs just like microcontroller programs. However, when the system has analog control links, the flowcharts drawn are difficult to explain the issues, making it hard to create a comprehensive flowchart that reflects … Read more

The Essential Differences Between PLC and Microcontrollers

The Essential Differences Between PLC and Microcontrollers

Can Microcontrollers Replace PLCs? Microcontrollers cannot completely replace PLCs. Although microcontrollers can achieve similar functions through programming, they are relatively less reliable and stable compared to PLCs. PLCs are widely used in industrial control and automation due to their excellent programmability, real-time performance, and stability. PLCs have several advantages over microcontrollers, which make them irreplaceable … Read more
