MatPLC - Linux This is a project to create and distribute a PLC-like program for Linux (PLC = Programmable Logic Controller), licensed under the GNU GPL. We take advantage of the fact that we have an underlying operating system and use its features to make the MatPLC modular. One module could be executing mnemonics. Another module is a PID loop. A different module handles I/O, or logs to a database. (These modules all already exist.) The MatPLC then coordinates their workings to present a simple interface to the user. http://mat.sourceforge.net/
PLC open PLCopen is a vendor- and product-independent worldwide association supporting IEC 61131-3. Via this programming standard we provide greater value to users of industrial controllers. By implementing this standard in many program development environments (known as Program Support Environments or PSEs in the IEC 61131- terminology), users can move between different brands and types of control with very little training and can exchange applications with a minimum of effort. To reach this goal, the members of PLCopen are committed to supply and/or use IEC 61131-3 compliant products. To guarantee product compliance, certification is accomplished through PLCopen accredited institutes, insuring that certified products meet the criteria for common implementation. PLCopen was founded in 1992 and has headquarters in The Netherlands with supporting offices in Barrie, Ontario, Canada and Tokyo, Japan http://www.plcopen.org/
