"im-material" (wife says that ain't a word).
"immaterial" is a word (witout the hyphen).
However, there ceratinly is no such word as "irregardless", with a hyphen or not. That would be a double-negative built into itself. There ain't no such thing... like "ain't got no".
"Stuph" is not a word either. Look it up... you won't find it.
Just curious... why do you use "stuph" instead of "stuff"?
(And it's a good thing that it doesn't cost money to run a poll, at least, not here. If it did, you would be eating into your retirement fund by now!)
Alright... I'm done being a critical a$$hole...
This PLC represents the break-through I have been suggesting, for many years, that would come. This PLC could "break the backs" of the Big-Boys. If, and when, that does occur, this PLC will then, I'm sure (I hope), begin to provide software that follows "English-Speak", much like the "C" Language.
It will be "structured" only in the most basic sense. That is, with respect to defining what-is-what (declarations, et al). After that, all references are made in "English-Terms" as to how to control this or that.
IF "The Heater is Enabled" AND the "Temperature in the room is Cold" then "Turn ON the damned heater, will ya? Huh? Will ya please?"
This is a basic HUMAN concept. "I'm Cold". Therefore, "Turn ON the Heat!"
I can't hardly wait for this to become the mainstream!
Imagine, being able to have the PLC respond to English-Type instructions.
The next logical progression would be for the programmer to be able to SPEAK (literally SPEAK) the instructions to the Processor (as in "voice-recognition".
"HAL?"
"Yes, I'm here."
"Would you mind turning the temperature down a bit?"
"Certainly. How much?"
"Two or three degrees would be nice."
"Which is it? Two or three degrees?"
"Let's try three degrees, Hal"
"Alright, I'm turning down the temperature three degrees. Will that be satisfactory?"
"Yes, Hal. Three degrees will be fine"

"It is now three degrees cooler. Is that satisfactory?"
"Yes, Hal. Thank You."
"Do you want this temperature every time you come into this room?"
"Yes, Hal, unless there are others in the room that have specified other temperatures. In that case, please ask what temperature is required."
"Okie-Dokie!"
