Plant Engineering magazine this month has an article discussing PLC's and PC's plus a new combo of the 2 known as PAC. I thought many of you may be interested in the article. Also note that you can subscribe to this magazine online and may be free.

In reference to another thread there is one section of this article that I thought very relevant to automation and the economy.

ARC also reports that the PLC market will revive, despite the global economic slowdown. Users need automation to improve productivity, reduce costs, and increase flexibility to meet varying manufacturing demands. Signs of revival are also present in the high pace of technological change as fears of obsolescence drive upgrade plans. In addition, the potential of reduced total cost of ownership with open connectivity and programming platforms stimulates demand for higher levels of automation
