Description
CUBLOC is an embedded controller platform capable of running BASIC programs and Ladder Logic simultaneously. This dual-language capability allows PLC-style deterministic control and high-level program logic to coexist within a single compact core module.
The CUBLOC Core Module is designed to be mounted directly onto a custom PCB, similar to a conventional MCU. This particular model is distinguished by its built-in real-time clock (RTC) and high-resolution 16-bit ADC, making it ideal for applications that require accurate timekeeping, precise analog signal measurement, and large data handling capacity.
By utilizing on-chip multitasking, Ladder Logic can be dedicated to real-time I/O control, while BASIC manages data logging, time-based operations, communications, and system coordination. This architecture is well suited for data acquisition systems, industrial monitoring equipment, and advanced embedded controllers where timing accuracy and analog precision are critical.

FAQ
Q: Ladder logic feels unfamiliar and difficult.
A: That’s completely natural if you’re seeing it for the first time. Try thinking of ladder logic in a simpler way: it’s just logic circuitry.
While your BASIC program is running, this logic circuit is always standing by in the background. The moment the defined input conditions are met, the result is produced immediately. It doesn’t matter whether the ladder program is short or thousands of lines long—the response time remains consistent.
In effect, ladder logic behaves like its own form of multitasking. When BASIC is also running in a multitasking environment, the two operate independently, without interfering with each other’s execution.
This seamless coexistence of real-time ladder logic and multitasking BASIC is one of the greatest strengths of CUBLOC.
