GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms says it has received certificates of compliance from PLCopen, the independent organization that focuses on the harmonization of control programming around IEC 61131-2.
PLCopen represents various industries and seeks to drive more efficiency in industrial automation through creating specifications and implementations in engineering programming language.
GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms fulfilled the requirements in PLCopen Compliance Procedure for Motion Control Library V. 1.1 and PLCopen Complaince Procedure for Motion Control Part 2 – Extensions, Version 1.0.
Says Paul Derstine, motion product manager for GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms: “Customers will be able to use open standards-based programming functionality.”
“This will decrease any learning curve, and speed up the time to market for their new products or projects.”
PACMotion allows the engineering communities who are already familiar with these IEC languages to very quickly integrate motion control into their existing programs, and to develop new programs in the quickest and most efficient way.
PACMotion uses GE Fanuc Intelligent Platform’s Proficy Machine Edition, an integrated programming environment for machine logic, motion, and HMI all in a single program.
A single programming environment allows developers to utilize common tag databases, common scripting, and eliminate all synchronization logic between separate programs.
