Questioning IEC 61131-3 From A Manufacturer’s Perspective
How Does IEC 61131-3 Help Manufacturers?
The main reason lies in its various language capabilities and ease of use. Users and vendors can expect less waste of human resources due to less system maintenance times, debugging, and training. Controllers can be used together from different locations, projects, or companies with fewer errors and increased performance. IEC 61131 allows manufacturers to stop being committed and disrupted by vendor lock-in to its universal state and nature. It’s applicable in a wide range of environments with enough connectivity features.
Why Not Use Other Standards?
Aside from IEC, there are various other standards that may apply in different countries. For example, ANSI (American National Standards Institute), and NEC (National Electric Code) caters to the United States.
