  • Abstract
    The IEC 1131-3 standard is not just for PLC programming but is equally applicable to distributed multitasking motion control systems. The suite of languages that it defines allow an application to be developed hierarchically using encapsulated components which simplifies testing and encourages re-use. This together with a graphical interactive development environment on a personal computer provides a rapid means to implement and prove complex motion control designs
