> I wish the industry would adopt some more useful language standards for control than Relay Ladder Logic. Using common languages such as C and C++ doesn't help much. What we really need is a scripting language oriented around time and event based controls and some control kernel utilities which clearly show latencies, pending tasks, memory usage, and other such things in a manner that doesn't require a computer science background to understand.<
Do you have any more detailed ideas?
It's easy to see that the status quo is not as useful as it should be. But whenever I try to think in detail how such a programming language should work, I'm never quite sure that it would actually be all that much better.
So, any ideas?
