Don't Get Caught Without These 3 PLC Requirements

f you are looking to purchase a PLC system, there are three key components that you should look for. If your current system does not contain these features, you need to replace it with one that does as soon as possible. The three most important features you should look for in your new PLC system are the open communications protocol, the ability to integrate easily with other systems, and the ability to have remote access. Without these three important requirements, your PLC system is going to be far less effective and will be more expensive to operate than it needs to be.
The industrial internet of things (IIoT) is essential and the ability to take advantage of this starts with the hardware that you specify for your PLC control. PLCs are now considered edge devices. This means that information should be able to send and receive to the PLC controller when it is required. We are all data companies that need the information for continued improvement.
This site (ACC Automation) has a few different PLC manufacturers that I believe give the best value for the investment. Automation Direct with the Koyo (Click), Do-More, and Productivity Family of PLC controllers put the above items in their products for you. They sell and support PLC hardware directly to you without the markup from distribution.
