Are preliminary conclusions available?
Concerning Soft-PLCs there are some solutions using dedicated processor cards which work even if the PC OS is rebooted.
Concerning purely software-based solutions I really wonder if PC OS's are really enough reliable. According to my experience, using any MS -Windows product doesn't allow a long-term runtime (> several months coninuous duty) without crashes.
Some specializes OS's are better suited for industrial applications (e.g. QNX etc.).
Would be intersting to hear any comments about Soft-PLC experiences.
