<snip> >> I used to work with some Siemens software that ran on Windows RTX and it was very stable. Chrysler has several transmission assembly lines that are run via PCs. The software is based on Siemens soft S7 PLC software engine. Siemens MMI software runs on the same PC and hooks in the virtual PLC so it all runs on the same box. The PLC scan/loop time is in the 1 millisecond range which is fast enough for general machine control. For I/O the standard interface used to be Profibus, but I think that the current versions also support Profinet which is more or less Profibus over Ethernet. <<
And as an added bonus, it is vulnerable to the Stuxnet worm if WinCC is used as the MMI. :) See for example: http://www.debka.com/article/9050/ Regards, Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
