The prediction that PCs will replace PLCs: In Certain Advanced Automation Applications

by Andy Robinson, Cliff Jolliffe, Duane Klein

Overview

Do you agree with the prediction that PCs will replace PLCs in certain Advanced Automation applications? Perhaps the most critical component, the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) provides reliable and real-time control over machining processes. As older PLC technology becomes obsolete, PC-based controllers now offer hardened platforms rivaling the reliability of dedicated PLC hardware. Read along as enterprising visionaries challenge career-long convictions regarding the reliability of non-traditional automation control systems for advanced automation.
