A programmable logic controller (PLC) is an industrial solid-state computer that monitors inputs and outputs, and makes logic-based decisions for automated processes or machines. 1. The image above is ...

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 ...

This is your brain on computer programming. The post How learning computer programming ‘rewires’ parts of the brain appeared ...

When learning ladder logic, I was told that some new PLC systems were moving to scripted programming languages. My instructor assured us that we would not need to know anything other than ladder logic ...

Learning to code doesn’t require new brain systems—it builds on the ones we already use for logic and reasoning.

Dan Shapiro’s Robot Turtles board game Kickstarter showed there is serious appetite for kids’ games that aren’t just fun to play with but also sneakily teach core coding principles. Instead of the $25 ...

While programmable logic controllers (PLCs) have long been the cornerstone of industrial control systems due to their robustness in harsh environments, industrial PCs (IPCs) are increasingly bridging ...
