Hi.
Thanks a lot for your response.
Answering to what RonJohn points, Yes,
- We're all working for the same company
- We are able to set rules of development.
- About the brands, we develop mostly in Siemens/Allen Bradley.
Regarding iraiam, so far we've tried to define a standard behavior for the elements we use (mostly valves, motors, flow and temp sensors).
Then, from what I can understand the key point to this might be:
-Use a well defined standard.
to have common behavior in different systems but same element (e.g. valve in skid and valve in dosifier)
-define tag sets or memory regions per system and HW specifics requierements (timers, counters, bits, etc)
Where each programmers should be bound.
-have well defined interfaces for system level blocks (e.g. skids)
to connect each programmers job to a main program.
Finally, and connected to this topic (if I should open another thread please indicate it),
Do you know or advise to use a versioning system to work with plc programs?.
