Tech & Buying Guide

In industrial automation, PLC systems eventually face obsolescence. Hardware failures, discontinued support, or outdated firmware often require either a system upgrade or full migration. Addressing this proactively reduces downtime and improves reliability.

In industrial automation, correct IO wiring is essential for reliable PLC operation. Sinking and sourcing define voltage flow to field devices relative to PLC common. Choosing the right type ensures accurate digital IO signals and prevents false readings. These rules are key for engineers using PLC, DCS, or factory automation systems.
