PLC evaluation board applications for industrial process-controlsystems are diverse, ranging from simple traffic control to complexelectrical power grids, from environmental control systems ...

Researchers create a self-propagating worm that can infect a Siemens’ PLC and can be programmed to bring an industrial control platform to its knees. LAS VEGAS – Security researchers at Black Hat USA ...

Though PLC (programmable logic controller) programming languages may not receive the attention that general computing programming languages, such as JavaScript, C#, or Python do, they remain critical ...

In part one of this series, we looked at the PLC’s internal architecture, briefly discussed Ladder Logic programming, Human-Machine Interfaces, advantages of the PLC’s ability to react consistently ...

Old habits die hard. But change is inevitable. And in this case, if proponents are right, change is on the way in the form of an open PLC programming standard known as IEC 61131-3. Promulgated by the ...

From the what-could-possibly-go-wrong file comes this: People hawking password-cracking software are targeting the hardware used in industrial-control facilities with malicious code that makes their ...

An HVAC company in search of modern machine-control advantages finds an Arduino-compatible open PLC controller is the solution. Like many modern-day makers and hobbyists, I have always been inspired ...

Attacks on programmable logic controllers (PLCS) -- the systems used to automate the control of industrial equipment -- can have devastating physical consequences as Stuxnet demonstrated in 2010 when ...

The Stuxnet and Target attacks have squashed many of the myths about securing industrial control system security. Myth #1 – Isolating control systems networks keeps them safe from malicious attacks: ...

The certificate in Industrial Robotics is designed to develop skills and competencies in operating, programming, and troubleshooting FANUC industrial robots and configuring and setting up the robotic ...

Only a few times in the history of hacking has a piece of malicious code been spotted attempting to meddle directly with industrial control systems, the computers that bridge the gap between digital ...
