A method for evaluating programmable logic controllers that takes into account production needs
Incoming article date: 07.05.2025Choosing a programmable logic controller is one of the most important tasks when designing an automated system. The modern market offers many options, different in characteristics, which have different priorities for production. The paper proposes a method for evaluating the overall effectiveness of software logic controllers. When evaluating the selected characteristics, linear scaling and weight coefficients are introduced that take into account the importance of the parameter for the controller in question compared to others. The weight of the parameter in the calculation is set using a coefficient. The values of the weight coefficients may vary depending on the requirements of the technological process.
