I have seen a variety of combinations for programming plc's at the many places I've contracted to over the years.
Generally, the engineer has a desktop and a laptop computer, Sometimes the shop has a laptop or a desktop on a cart.
The best shop system I saw was a desktop, with a form-feed printer, so the program could be easily printed in the shop.
Unofficial standard policy at that facility was to carry a blank floppy in your pocket at al times.
So, what does your operation have for plc programming computers. Check all that apply!
Feel free to mention brand names in a post, as ANOTHER poll will be forthcoming. Unofficially, several plc manufactures recommend avoiding HP and Compaq, a major computer talk show says to stay away from Micron laptops, what are your thoughts?
