7 Ways to Boost Your PLC System Print E-mail
Why add more functionality to a programmable logic controller (PLC) system? For several decades, PLCs have controlled most production and automation through reliable, discrete logic and straightforward analog I/O. While most industrial applications are well-served by these capabilities, today’s industrial machines continue to push the performance boundaries of what traditional PLCs can provide.

The “7 Ways to Boost Your PLC System” white paper series explores different technologies that can integrate with PLC-based automation systems to increase efficiency, reduce energy and maintenance costs, and stay competitive with existing equipment.
