Topic: internet of things VFDs memory capacity processor technology

In his June 2018 article at Pumps and Systems, Dan Peters did some comparisons of the practicality of replacing the traditional PLC (programmable logic controllers ) with the more advanced VFD (variable frequency drive) in embedded pump applications. While advances in processor and memory technology have benefited both types of controllers, programming limitations inherent with PLCs may make them as obsolete as the candle after the invention of the light bulb for controlling 3-phase induction motor applications.
