PLC Programming

Programmable logic controller programming is one area of opportunity for solution providers in the manufacturing space. A PLC is an intelligent system with inputs and outputs that are used to control automated processes in industrial settings. This programming is often done using the ladder logic language but can be programmed in multiple languages. Vendors including Siemens, Schneider Electric and Mitsubishi specialize in PLC platforms and programming.

Solution providers have the opportunity to develop new PLC systems from the ground up, as well as troubleshoot, update and add to pre-existing PLC systems. In addition, solution providers can integrate PLC systems with other devices – like robots, vision cameras or human machine interface systems – and make sure they work with various industrial network protocols and hardware layers.
