Hi,
Ever heard of the Beckhoff PLC ?
This is a PC based PLC with hmi in it, running on Windows CE or WIndows XP embedded. Mostly programmed in Structure text. I've been on a studyday for one day and I compared everything with a Siemens PLC. In my opinion, Siemens has more experience then Beckhoff. But, should this be the future ? Windows based PLC's ? Siemens has something like WinAC, so they also have something like this...
A second question, we have a machine running with a beckhoff plc, it's been written in Structure Text. @ school I've seen Quartus programming, programming of CPLD's and FPGA's. I'hve learned to program in VHDL and the architecture in sequential. And a little bit 'Structure Text', but mostly sequential. Does anyone know where to find information of Structure Text Programming in Beckhoff PLC's or something related to it.
Thanks in forward,
G-Man
