CUBLOC was released in 2004, a full year before Arduino entered the market. It is a product entirely developed by COMFILE Technology, from the compiler to the firmware. Unlike many platforms that rely on third-party toolchains or operating layers, CUBLOC was designed as a complete, vertically integrated system from the ground up. A Well-Engineered Firmware at the Core The greatest strength of CUBLOC lies in its well-designed built-in firmware, often described as an interpreter or even a lightwei …

In the world of industrial computing, reliability is paramount. Yet, a growing trend in the manufacturing sector sees the integration of a rather unconventional component: recycled CPUs from cryptocurrency mining farms. While offering enticingly low prices, these units pose significant risks to any business operations. The Rise of Recycled CPUs in Panel PCs Following the decline of cryptocurrency mining booms, a surplus of used hardware flooded the market. Manufacturers in certain regions began …

When it comes to building a stable and noise-resistant control system, wiring is one of the most critical—and often overlooked—factors. Even the best PLC or controller can behave unpredictably if the wiring layout is poorly designed.Below are practical wiring guidelines commonly recommended by PLC manufacturers to reduce electrical noise and improve system reliability in control panels. Recommended Wiring Guidelines 1) Use thick power cables and twist themUse power lines that are as …

CUBLOC Application: Customer-Designed Base Board with CB405RT Below is a real-world example of a customer-designed base board using the CB405RT CUBLOC core module.  What is a CUBLOC-based custom control board? A CUBLOC-based custom control board is a customer-designed base PCB that uses a CUBLOC core module, such as the CB405RT, as its main controller. Instead of using a ready-made PLC or a bare MCU board, customers design a base board that includes only the interfaces and I/O they actuall …
