Weidmüller’s scalable engineering software, u-control 2000, adapts individually to your requirements. And, the u-control is powerful, compact and fully compatible with Weidmüller’s I/O system u-remote. This article looks at what makes u-control the heart of your automation.
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are one of the main components of any automated system. A typical control system has inputs, outputs, controllers (i.e., PLCs), and some type of human interaction with the system, a human machine interface (HMI), for example.
October 14, 2025 Sensors have evolved from simple detection tools to intelligent data sources that drive smarter decisions. They are no longer just watching; they are communicating, diagnosing, and optimizing. The Eyes and Ears of Automation Sensors are the first line of awareness in any automated system. They detect the presence or absence of objects,… Read More…
October 14, 2025 Building on the concepts introduced in ManAuto’s main article, “Futureproof Industrial OT with Moxa’s Secure Edge-to-Core Networking”, this post focuses on strengthening industrial systems through a layered OT security approach. As cyber threats targeting operational technology (OT) environments continue to evolve, implementing a single layer of defense is no longer enough. In this… Read More…
