ACC Automation: PLC & Industrial Control Learning
Practical Tips and Techniques
Can AI Program a PLC? I Tested AI-Generated PLC Code Live. I gave an AI assistant one task: write a complete conveyor control program in Structured Text for the ACC PLC Simulator. Start the motor, detect the box at each end with proximity sensors, reverse direction, auto-stop, and handle a restart. Then I pasted the … Read more
AI PLC code is everywhere in the conversation right now, but does it actually work on a real machine? Instead of guessing, I set a trap. I gave both ChatGPT and Claude the exact same motor control task for the CLICK PLC — a task with a classic wiring gotcha buried in it — took … Read more
Structured text (ST) programming is a programming language that is part of the IEC standard and is used in the Arduino Opta PLC. This programming language allows you to write code in a structured and organized manner, making it easier to understand and maintain. With structured text programming, you can create complex and sophisticated programs … Read more
