new Arduino Opta
It looks like Arduino is coming out with a new micro PLC
https://www.arduino.cc/pro/hardware-arduino-opta
It looks like it will support ladder and function block diagram. I cant wait to see how the productivity open team leverages the addition of ladder. With P1 IO, Ladder programing to do the simple stuff and some C functions for the things easier done in C I could really see the productivity open series taking off.
Thanks for the information! I will forward this to Productivity Product Manager.
It's definitely cool to see Arduino make effort to get into the PLC space by including ladder.
P1AM actually already supports ladder(and the other IEC languages) via OpenPLC. FACTS has been sponsoring this project for a bit now actually!
Interesting. I was unaware of OpenPLC. I will need to look in to it.
