In 2009, the computer worm Stuxnet crippled hundreds of centrifuges inside Iran’s Natanz uranium enrichment plant by targeting the software running on the facility’s industrial computers, known as ...

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that were vulnerable to the Stuxnet attack are still in use globally and rarely have security controls deployed — meaning they're still at risk. More than 10 ...

How do programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human-machine interfaces (HMIs), distributed control systems and supervisory control and data acquisition systems relate to each other? PLCs and ...

With integrated diagnostics and override functions, PLCs have become easier to use and much less expensive. Before the automotive industry discovered the advantages of programmable logic controllers ...

Most attack scenarios against industrial installations, whether in manufacturing or in critical infrastructure, focus on compromising programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to tamper with the physical ...

Researchers from Microsoft have demonstrated how programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that support the CODESYS runtime can be taken over by exploiting high-severity remote code execution (RCE) ...

Virtual PLCs can automatically recover from hardware failures by restarting on another server, thereby eliminating the downtime and guesswork of physical PLC replacement. Running control logic in ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Historically, motion controllers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and industrial personal computers (PCs), which ...

Industrial automation systems have historically relied on digital elements installed locally to the controlled equipment and machinery. As computational capabilities progressed, users took advantage ...
