Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)

Discover how Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) have evolved from their 1970s origins as industrial computers to become a cornerstone of Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT). Modern PLCs, equipped with advanced programming capabilities and integrated into secure architectures, are revolutionizing industrial automation.

Overview:

Since their inception in the 1970s, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) have undergone significant transformation, advancing from simple relay replacements to essential components of Industry 4.0 and the IoT revolution. While they still utilize ladder logic programming, today’s PLCs support various languages like Function Block Diagram and Structured Text, enhancing functionality and expanding digital possibilities. At Opus Integration, we specialize in integrating Allen-Bradley® PLCs into secure architectures for diverse applications, optimizing design to reduce costs, improve deployment times, and streamline maintenance. Our expertise ensures that clients receive the best PLC solutions tailored to their specific needs, including the selection of an appropriate Remote IO platform.
