A good PLC is the brains behind any quality automation process.

A programmable logic controller (PLC) is a computer program used for the automation of various industrial processes. They monitor industrial processes and carry out logic-based, machine-learning decisions to optimise output, efficiency and safety. PLCs are used in a variety of industrial applications from manufacturing operations to mining.

The difference between an efficient well-running system and a poor system can come down to the quality of the PLC programming.

At TA Electrical, our team of licensed electrical contractors in Adelaide provides expert PLC programming along with industrial machinery repair across Adelaide suited to a range of systems and industrial applications. We deliver functional and user-friendly programs specifically designed to suit your applications.

We can help to streamline machine automation to improve speed, quality of output, repeatability and accuracy, and safety. We can also help with diagnosing and repairing disruptions to automation systems

We’re experienced working across a range of PLC brands and systems and across a variety of industrial applications. We can easily handle a range of systems including Allen-Bradley PLC, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Modicon/Schneider, Omron, Hitachi and more.

We can program and calibrate new systems to suit your processes, update and refurbish older systems to improve performance, and redesign machine controls for aging or obsolete systems.

Out team can provide support across the entire PLC and automation process from conception, design, programming, through to testing and commissioning.

PLCs can be programmed using a range of different languages. Common programming languages include ladder diagrams, sequential function charts (SFC) function block diagrams (FBD), structured test, and instruction list. Each language has its particular advantages and disadvantages and may be more or less suited to a particular system or application. For example, ladder programming requires a programming software like RSLogix 500 and is built with horizontal rungs with two vertical rails representing the electrical connection on relay-logic schematics. Ladder logic is clear, organised and easy to edit online. However, it is not capable of expressing all instructions, making it difficult to program for applications like motion or batching.

At TA Electrical, our PLC technicians have extensive experience working across all major PLC programming languages.
