I work for a company with hundreds of PLCs in the field. There are probably 70-80 S7s in the field.
Each runs the same software, but maybe a different version as different machines come online. We don't have a very good means of doing version management so I was wondering what others do in industry.
As of right now, we have tried normal source code repositories (PVCS, SVN, etc.) but they are meant for uncompiled code. It doesn't seem like there is anything out there meant for PLC code.
We try to put version numbers in the code, but sometimes people forget to up revisions in the code and such. It just makes the whole process complicated.
Discussion on process would be nice.
Thoughts?
