PLC & HMI Programming and Electrical Industrial Automation in Maitland and Newcastle

Most automated factories rely on PLC programming and automation for their manufacturing processes. PLCs carry out machine learning and logic-based learning decisions to aid efficiency and automate the control process of industrial machinery so they need to be programmed well in order to maximise efficiency.

Not all electricians have the experience or training in PLC-related work but here at Horsell Electrical, we love the more technical aspects of industrial electrical jobs for factories and warehouses

Horsell Electrical in Newcastle can help you with troubleshooting, repairs and maintenance, backups of your code, replacing older PLCs, breakdown and project support.

Some of the brands that Horsell Electrical works with include Allen Bradley, Siemens, Omron, GE, Schneider, Mitsubishi, Delta and Beckhoff.

Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are the cornerstone of industrial automation applications, and they rely on specific programming languages to control and manage various processes within manufacturing environments. Several programming languages are commonly used in PLCs to suit different application requirements.

• Ladder Logic (LAD) - Ladder Logic is the most traditional and widely used PLC programming language. It's graphical and mimics electrical relay logic, making it intuitive for engineers and electricians to understand and troubleshoot.
• Function Block Diagram (FBD) - FBD is another graphical language that represents functions and their interconnections. It's well-suited for complex applications that require modularity and reusability.
• Structured Text (ST) - ST resembles high-level programming languages like C or Pascal. It's ideal for complex mathematical calculations and algorithm-based control applications, offering more flexibility in coding.
• Instruction List (IL) - IL is a textual, low-level language often used for simple, time-critical tasks and for those familiar with assembly programming.
• Sequential Function Chart (SFC) - SFC is a graphical language used for managing complex sequences of operation, particularly in batch processes.

Our PLC programmer chooses the most suitable language based on the specific automation application's requirements, ease of maintenance, and the expertise of the engineering team. These languages, along with their adaptability, ensure that industrial automation systems efficiently and reliably manage and control processes in diverse manufacturing settings.
