PLCnext Technology gives developers a control platform that combines the features of traditional IEC 61131 programming with the flexibility of open-source languages such as Linux. The open platform allows users to access the core of the product directly via Linux, providing the freedom to leverage the open-source community or develop their own Linux-based applications on an industrially hardened control platform. It also enhances IEC 61131 PLC programming and makes it possible to program controllers using high-level languages for real-time performance and data. The IIoT-ready technology has complete integration with Proficloud for easy access to dashboard data and alarms using time series data.
