Hi,
I'm playing with libnodave and some ideas I have. Long time ago I programmed some things in SCL (S7) and VBScript (WinCC Flex) to accomplish some things that should have been done in a PC application. But like many fellow PLC programmers I do have an electro-mechanic background and not an IT background. In the past years I learned to write thing object oriënted in dotNet. So now I see how I could have programmed some things on the PC side instead of a comination with WinCC FLex Runtime, Scl in the PLC and scripting from the panel to csv files to a server location. I could have made my software more standard. And that's what I have in mind now, writing some ideas in software packages without the need of OPC or whatever.
I'm wondering, are there people out there that have done something like this, writing own standard software and making a business with it ? If so, how did you commercialise it, via the net ? How determining prices, how and how and how ... . I would like to read some remarks and opinions about this topic, I'm sure many have allready had the same toughts .
Kind regards,
Combo
