Difference between Cold Standby and Hot Standby

Redundancy in industrial automation systems comes in three types – hot, cold, and warm. Learn the difference between Cold and Hot Standby.

The main advantage of using normally-closed contact for stop buttons is to detect the wire breaks in the electrical circuits.

In this post, we will learn the various types of SCADA system architecture such as monolithic, distributed, and networked.

The most commonly used timers in PLC programming are Pulse timers, on-delay timers, retentive on-delay timers, and off-delay timers.

Let’s understand the parameters which help in evaluating the return on investment (ROI) of industrial automation projects.

In this article, we will talk about function blocks in PLC and how to use them in your PLC logic, and how FBs are different from FCs.

In this article we will get to know the basics of functions in PLC programming, what are they, when to use them, and how to use FC.

In this article, we will learn the Safety PLC coding practices and the best tips you can follow when programming a safety PLC function.

In this article, we will learn how to choose the right industrial automation solution for a business to build a new project.

Muting function is used to interrupt the safety PLC light curtain without triggering a safety condition that will probably stop your process.
