I didnt realise it was actually used in real life situations, thought it was just uni type experimental software. I'm a research student soooo :o I think it does get used in industry fairly often, but in embedded systems so you wouldn't even know.

	I've also done a fair bit with Rockwell's remote IO blocks on both devicenet and profibus.

	Ocean, who do you work for? We tend to use alot of siemens PLCs, Mitsibushi Q series. Ive used a a few rockwell's Compact Logix and Control logix's myself. Im not a programmer, but we install these within our panels.

	Anyone on here do PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) Programming/work?? Just out of interest really. I work with Allen Bradley PLC5's, SLC500's, and the new Logix 5555. :)
