I like the IEC 61131 -3 environments that you get from a couple of PLC vendors. Especially the ability to view all the variables in the code as it is running and that the language does all the things I want it to and not too much else.
The application that I have is for wind turbines.
The normal way to design a wind turbine is to design your controller and incorporate it into a simulation with wind, tower structure, blade dynamics and so on. The controller heavily influences the loads that the machine experiences and how heavy/strong/expensive the components need to be.
I'd like to take my 61131 code and put it in a simulation environment, probably wrapped up in a dll.
I could use hardware in the loop, but that would seriously slow down the 1000's of simulations that need to be done and I'd need a load of hardware that I don't think I should.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
