We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "PLC Controls",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Panel aids carpet design from
Lenze, which we summarised at the time by saying "Cobble Blackburn's master control is performed with a Lenze Drive PLC programmed to IEC6113-3".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Prototyping package is blueprint for productivity from
Matrikon: "Rio Tinto improved coal yield and reduced water use in its Hunter Valley Coal Prep Plant by implementing radical control strategies on antiquated controllers".
In September 2006, we covered the news from Emulate3D
concerning its Demo3D Offline PLC Controls Testing
- take a look at Software puts PLC controls though their paces
which says: "Purpose-built software for offline logic controls testing helps users to reduce on-site commissioning time, improve control system quality, accelerate ramp to full production and reduce project costs".
Take a look also at the news release from Matrikon, Archiving software aids process improvement,
as well as Leak tester has split personality from TM Electronics,
and Digital axis controller has NC functionality from Bosch Rexroth - Linear Motion and Assembly.
