I didn't realize Phil's charge per word had risen to the point that complete sentences and actual questions were cost prohibitive!

I think future trends with plc's is for a black or dark grey colour.
I would like some bright blue or red ones. They would stand out in the panel. Maybe even some customised silver ones to show off with.

I'm hoping for a cloaking device to hide the units from people who shouldn't be messing with them.

Bernie:

02bnden04 is asking about FUTURE trends. I don't think it's possible to trend the future. If I could, I'd trend the Powerball numbers into next week....

I have been a controls engineer/elec-tech for many years. I have an enquiring mind. With those two qualities, there isnt much I havnt blown up or destroyed at one time or other.

Future is SoftPLCs with Control and Informaton tightly integrated with safety. Also I see the centralized control architecture will be replaced with distributed control architecture with all self-thinking smart end devices .. Of course everything will be information rich with embedded web servers . Connect to any part of your control system and drill down to any parameter and watch/control from anywhere in the planet, just by using a plam top or cell phone !

To expand on Ron's point, is there really a future until it happens? And once it happens, isn't it the present or the past?
