Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that were vulnerable to the Stuxnet attack are still in use globally and rarely have security controls deployed — meaning they're still at risk. More than 10 ...

Researchers create a self-propagating worm that can infect a Siemens’ PLC and can be programmed to bring an industrial control platform to its knees. LAS VEGAS – Security researchers at Black Hat USA ...

Security researchers have found a way to extract a global encryption key that was hardcoded in the CPUs of several Siemens programmable logic controller (PLC) product lines, allowing them to ...

LAS VEGAS --A security researcher has uncovered a slew of vulnerabilities in Siemens industrial control systems, including a hard-coded password, that would let attackers reprogram the systems with ...

This class discusses the basic concepts of programming Siemens PLCs. Linear and modular programming are both discussed, as well as different types of Siemens PLC engineering software and PLC program ...

A Russian security researcher has unleashed a brute-force password-cracking tool that can capture passwords for Siemens S7 programmable logic controllers (PLC), which run machinery in power plants and ...

These small controllers deliver cost savings and many advantages over traditional methods of control. Seems like everything is getting smaller-cheaper-faster these days. So why not go smaller while ...

Universal Robots (UR), a supplier of collaborative robots (cobots), has now integrated the Standard Robot Command Interface (SRCI) into its software. UR said it is among the first cobot vendors to ...

STÄUBLI TEC-SYSTEMS is launching the uniVAL pi software that will allow robot programming to be implemented via the PLC, using Plug & Play in Siemens TIA Portal. Thanks to this optionally available ...
