Does anyone know or have a reference indicating what PLC [programmable logic controller] brands are popular in China?
Ivan Seeking said:Berkeman, are you offering what was being called soft PLCs?
It seems that person wants to know the brands of PLCs being used in China. Actually I’m a member of TC124, a technical committee that handles standardization of fieldbus technologies. I review documents passed along in the committee. Popular technologies are Profibus (Profinet), Modbus, ControlNet, Interbus and etc. For the PLC brand, I believe most popular ones are Siemen’s or Controlnet (Rockwell), then it goes to Japanese maker Omron. Since the aviation industry is mission critical, I doubted that Omron plays a role there as Chinese are more likely and willingly to pay for the top brand - we want to use the best. Siemens and Rockwell are certainly the top brands in the industry.
