PC-Based Equipment
Since 2001, we have seen the long anticipated move to an acceptance of industrial computer controls on the plant floor. The reason is simple: proven value.

Today's industrial computer has no moving parts, utilizes flash drive memory, operates on 24-volt DC power, and is roughly the same size as a PLC. Without careful inspection, one would mistake it for a PLC.
