Until recently, programming and the integration of controls and motion components usually required several programming languages. Ladder logic was used for the control logic of a PLC and for the ...

Today's fast-changing, highly competitive global marketplace is driving many system and machine designers (both end-users and OEMs) to aggressively seek goals that are very demanding: greater machine ...

Here’s a closer look at software development for programming motion systems and how these choices affect software reusability. By Chuck Lewin Performance Motion Devices Software development can be the ...

Many machinery and process automation projects use sensors as inputs to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) executing programs, which in turn drive outputs, motor starters, and VFDs to achieve ...

Trio’s Motion-PLC family consists of six models which combine motion controls with PLCs to cut the cost and complexity of machine designs. At the SPS exhibition in Germany, UK-based Trio Motion ...

We first devise a hierarchical motion prediction approach by combining Inverse Reinforcement Learning and short-term motion prediction using a Recurrent Neural Network. In a second step, we propose a ...

Logic programming has some drawbacks and limitations that make it computationally expensive, non-deterministic, and hard to debug. It requires a lot of memory and processing power to perform ...

The new SMLC-SA from ORMEC is an integrated, single-axis servodrive/controller that offers full IEC 61131-3 programming for motion and logic control. It provides support for the PLCopen motion ...

This builder of liquid filling machines maintains its belief in a motion controller that is separate from the PLC that governs a machine’s logic. A manufacturer of liquid filling machines used chiefly ...

Logic programming is a programming paradigm that uses formal logic to express problems and solutions. Learn what logic programming is, how it works, and what you can do with it. Skip to main ...
