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

I use National Instruments Labview. I think that's quite similar to PLC stuff as you use a data acquisition device to control external hardware like motors and things.

I work for Thames Water. On a water treatment plant. Maintenance of PLC's and other control systems. We've just had a new plant installed using the Logix 5555, and the devicenet and controlnet. Confusing stuff. Prefer the PLC5 and SLC500.

Who you work for?

Ooo we use Labview at uni in some systems class we have. 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 I think it does get used in industry fairly often, but in embedded systems so you wouldn't even know.

Hows the relationship with TCS, were they particularly happy with them?
