Have you used Gmail, Outlook, or an app on your phone recently? đ±đ Of course, you have. Itâs almost impossible to avoid them. You may not realize it, but there are millions of lines of code under the hood.
Read moreYou're a visionary. Even though you don't believe it đ Youâve got a vision. It's blurry, but with time it gets clearer. Blinded by the idea, you don't see any obstacles along the road. That's good. There's a visionary inside you. An innovator.
Read moreImagine, youâre sitting on the couch, watching a movie, while youâre supposed to do the other thing. Your dishes. Itâs not hard work, but letâs face it â youâre probably too lazy to stand up from the comfort zone and do the unsatisfying work.
Read moreIn this comparison, two main aspects are considered: the overall ecosystem of a given platform, and the programming/software development tools. Some background: The perspective here is of a programmer working in a company (MTS) that builds single-purpose machines â each original, rarely repeating projects.
Read moreEach of us is limited by time. You just cannot shrink it, neither stretch it. Time is relative, so working on something repetitive and dull feels like days. Eventually, it gets tedious. Sooner or later, youâll make a mistake.
Read moreIt all started with a thought: what if we mirror the PLC program into some higher-level framework? We knew that if we could do that, a whole slew of new opportunities in PLC programming would open up for us and for everyone else, too. The sky (and our coffee supplies) was the limit!
Read moreAmong the existing systems, several solutions solve the issue of the object implementation we talked about last time. For us, the best solution comes from Beckhoff. The Beckhoff control systems are built on a sophisticated hardware solution for personal computers and a PLC core capable of running in hard real-time.
Read moreSo, what do PLC systems need in order to walk alongside IT technologies?
Read moreSome voices consider I4.0 to be another "buzzword" that will lose its meaning over time and fall into oblivion. We should acknowledge that I4.0 raised enormous expectations. The implementation? That still is a big unknown.
Read morePLC programmers are used to working with tools from a bygone era. Programming languages, approaches, and methods of programming; have gone through an evolution to attain development acceleration, testability, readability, and scalability of programs. The right and powerful tools enable you to deliver a solution faster, better, and cheaper.
