I checked with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and searched Allen-Bradley. I did not find PLC or Programmable Logic Controller registered to Allen-Bradley. I did find PLC-2 (registration number 1103007), PLC-3 (registration number 1228339), and PLC-5 (registration number 1709845). --Mark @ DailyNetworks talk 02:28, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
He was involved in the invention of the Allen-Bradley programmable logic controller [14] [15] [16] and is credited with coining the PLC acronym. [11] [14] Allen-Bradley (now a brand owned by Rockwell Automation) became a major PLC manufacturer in the United States during his tenure. [17]
Allen-Bradley is the brand-name of a line of factory automation equipment owned by Rockwell Automation.The company, with revenues of approximately US $6.4 billion in 2013, manufactures programmable logic controllers (), human-machine interfaces, sensors, safety components and systems, software, drives and drive systems, contactors, motor control centers, and systems of such products.
In 1985, Rockwell International purchased Allen-Bradley for $1.651 billion; this was the largest acquisition in Wisconsin's history to date. [3] For all intents and purposes, Allen-Bradley took over Rockwell's industrial automation division. The 1990s featured continued technology development, including the company's launch of its software ...
Visual Components - a 3D factory simulation software for manufacturing applications including layout planning, production simulation, off-line programming and PLC verification. VisualSim Architect – an electronic system-level software for modeling and simulation of electronic systems, embedded software and semiconductors.
PLC systems are inherently expensive, and down-time is often very costly. In addition, if a PLC is programmed incorrectly it can result in lost productivity and dangerous conditions. PLC simulation software is a valuable tool in the understanding and learning of PLCs and to keep this knowledge refreshed and up to date. [8]
