PLCopen Releases Motion Control Part 4 Version 2.0

PLCopen - Imagine being able to control robots from different manufacturers using the same familiar PLC programming approach, regardless of the PLC platform being used. With the official release of PLCopen Motion Control Part 4 Version 2.0, this vision has taken a major step forward.

PLCopen and Process Control

PLCopen - As part of our ongoing efforts to drive standardization and interoperability in industrial automation, PLCopen will start a new workgroup exploring the incorporation of the function blocks developed for the O-PAS standard into a new PLCopen specification for process control.

PLCopen Benchmarking – a different approach

PLCopen - PLCopen intended to show several areas of activities during the SPS: from guidelines to use the Object-Oriented Programming within the industrial environment, the extended harmonization of the interface towards robot controllers, and benchmarking.

PLCopen motion control for robotics

PLCopen - In 2008 PLCopen released Part 4 of the Motion Control suite of specifications, dealing with coordinated motion, i.c. robotics. Basically, with this specification one can control a robot in the PLC or one can see it as an interface to a robotic controller, which will do the calculations and movements of the joints.

PLCopen Guidelines on Object Orientation

PLCopen - The 3rd edition of the IEC 61131-3 standard enables the usage of Object Oriented Programming, OOP. With Object Orientation one can make many additional choices in the way the program is structured and decomposed, providing a different look & feel to the users especially across the different systems and platforms, creating different training guidelines and differences in maintenance.
