![]() Underneath though it is basically what you are talking about. It's a "PLC" in that it is hardware that you would mount in a panel just like a regular PLC. The link to the product announcement is on the front page of the Beremiz web site. The hardware will support CanOpen and Ethernet. One of the companies working on it will be shipping it as part of a commercial product some time this spring where it will replace their previous controller product line. The actual logic execution system is the MAT PLC (which you were once involved with). Have a look at Beremiz ( It's an IEC 61131-3 software system that does ladder, IL, FBD, SFC, and ST. If such a thing existed, it might well induce someone with the money to do the whole thing to do the right thing. Or for that matter, as long as it happens, I don't even need to be involved. I don't know if I'll have the time to code it, but it's beginning to look that way :^). #Plc that run from scilab generator#Output would be some sort of table that could be fed to a code generator for download to a PLC. What would be the best RAD tool for ladder? In order to be taken seriously, this would have to be a GUI tool. I thought I'd get the consensus of the people who are involved in automation and are of the GUI world, on the best tools and practices to develop a new Generic PLC Ladder Editor using the best FOSS tools available. So, rather than pore through the thousands of possible ways and then do things my way :^). But, practically everyone younger, (and some older) is. As the old timers also know, I'm not a GUI guy. All have been based on Windows or DOS before that. Some have no doubt been kinda shoestring efforts and often that shows. ![]() Some of these come from vast corporations and often that shows. We are all familiar with today's PLC tools, good and bad. I'm assuming many of the wonderful new generation of tiny, fanless, powerful, all in one embedded processor boards could be morphed into a PLC. #Plc that run from scilab how to#What's been banging around in my head for a little while now, is how to use Linux with PLCs in the _usual_ way. Indeed I have used it in many unusual ways, to integrate robots and CNC and conveyors and even a Linux based automation system project and a tiny but workable Linux PLC program (more my style). ![]() I want very much to use Linux in automation. I am hoping to pick brains here and survey how far we have come and how much is known by the group as a whole.Īs the old timers know. ![]()
