Linux Based Controller

4 posts in this topic

I was wondering if anyone can tell me their experiences with Linux Based vs. Windows based Controllers. We have introduced these in the US and not sure what industries could use them. We are always striving to provide what people want and need. If you have had success stories I would like to hear them. Dave

All of the current GE-IP Controllers currently produced have a Linux based OS, from Wind River IIRC. The programming software, Proficy ME is Windows based.

You'd be shocked how many PLCs these days are really PCs running a realtime variant of Linux. It's not a new concept by any means.
