On October 2nd at 2PM at ISA Expo, Jeremy Pollard, columnist for Control Design, and system integrator will be chairing a panel discussion on IEC-61131. Joining him will be:
Dick Morley - Modicon founder, and consummate pontificator
Bill Lydon - Managing Director of PLCopen
Julien Chouinard - Managing Director, ICSTriplex IsaGraf
The topic will be dynamic - IEC-61131 is a non-standard ..
Morley thinks standards are an 'embargo on innovation'
PLCopen supports the standard and the community
Chouinard's company, recently bought by Rockwell and a developer of IEC-61131 products
Being IEC-61131 compliant doesnt bring anything to the table for the user. Its just another programming environment to him. There will be lots to talk about. Come and join the discussion. Come and join the fun.
If this is a subject you're interested in but can't attend, post a comment here and tell us what you think of the standard, and what you'd like to know more about it. Jeremy will include it in the session and report back.
