For years, more and more functionality was centralized in the PLC as a line control.
Today, intelligence is shifting precisely to the field level.
Smart sensors, intelligent I/O modules, and decentralized subsystems make local decisions independently, while the PLC, acting as a line controller, focuses on coordinating the whole.
In this session, we will show how this approach leads to less programming work, more reusable functions, better diagnostics, and a more flexible architecture.
How much intelligence fits in an I/O module? More than you think!
