Technological Trends in the PLC Market
(ARC reports)

M580

PLC technology is mature. Differentiations in the main characteristics of a classical PLC (IO
count, speed, accuracy, etc.) are only marginal. Still, technological change continues, with PLCs
evolving into PACs, a common platform for significantly more than logic control.

Networking
Networks and Ethernet will continue to penetrate the market.
Integration of Nearly Everything
engineering tools, safety, cyber security, and energy management

CPM/MES at the PLC layer

Open communication will be necessary, as well as the ability to pass on data in a secure and
safe manner.

Distributed Automation
Higher processing power
Cyber Security
Cyber security gets more important for PLCs and we expect the integration to make a quantum
leap within the next five years.
