3. What is the difference between an embedded MCU and a PLC MCU?
The main difference between an embedded MCU and a PLC MCU is that their application fields, system architectures, and programming methods are different.
Although both embedded MCUs and PLC MCUs involve MCU technology, their application fields are significantly different. Embedded MCUs are mainly used in non-industrial fields such as consumer electronics, automobiles, aerospace, etc. They emphasize high specificity and flexibility and can be customized according to specific needs. PLC MCUs are mainly used in industrial automation control fields, such as electricity, petroleum, chemical industry, machinery manufacturing, etc. The original design intention is to adapt to complex industrial environments and have strong stability and reliability.
In terms of system architecture, embedded MCUs usually have fixed hardware and software configurations, are designed and developed for specific applications, and hardware and software are tightly integrated to form a complete system. PLC MCUs are based on a modular architecture, and different modules can be added to achieve different functions. Both hardware and software are standardized, which is convenient for users to select and configure.
In terms of programming language, embedded MCUs are usually programmed in high-level programming languages such as C and C++. These programming languages have powerful functions and flexibility and can meet complex programming needs. PLC MCUs are mainly programmed in ladder diagram language. This graphical programming method is simple and easy to understand, which is convenient for users to get started quickly. In addition, it also supports some text programming languages, such as instruction lists and structured text.
