Ethernet connections allow for real-time data collection, which introduces great networking potential between workers and the machines. Because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mroelectric.com\/category\/plc\/1\">PLC<\/a>s can be programmed to make decisions based on input variables, we can automate more tasks but still be confident that process variables are under control. The development and innovation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mroelectric.com\/schneider-electric\/modicon-quantum\/1\">Modicon Quantum<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mroelectric.com\/category\/io-modules\/1\">I\/O Modules<\/a> create the backbone of the PLC networking configuration.<\/p>\n<p>Another exciting revelation in the article:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>To meet the growing operation needs of industrial automation, networks continue to expand, offering monitoring and control capabilities in areas not previously possible. Device networks are now using fieldbus-to-Ethernet integration to develop enterprise-wide control networks. Merging networking functionality with PLCs enables users to off-load main processor tasks for distributed control in the field, placing control-level devices closer to the action. Additionally, by combining control with distributed I\/O, manufacturers can lower their total cost of operation by streamlining data acquisition, communication, and factory-wide connectivity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We can&#8217;t wait to see how users pair the networking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mroelectric.com\/blog\/category\/plc-application\/\">capabilities of PLCs<\/a> with infrastructure already in place on the factory floor.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mroelectric.com\/\"><b>MRO Electric and Supply<\/b><\/a><b> has new and refurbished<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mroelectric.com\/schneider-electric\/1\">\u00a0<b>Modicon\u00a0<\/b><\/a><b>products available including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mroelectric.com\/schneider-electric\/modicon-quantum\/1\">Modicon Quantum<\/a> series.
