Low-cost PLC alternative.Rabbit Semiconductor Rabbit Semiconductor is the company which designs and sells the Rabbit family of microcontrollers and microcontroller modules. For development, it provides Dynamic C, a limited, largely incompatible dialect of C with proprietary structures for multitasking. , Inc. have announced the availability of the Embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. PLC Application Kit, offering PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers See PLC. (hardware) Programmable Logic Controller - (PLC) A device used to automate monitoring and control of industrial plant. Can be used stand-alone or in conjunction with a SCADA or other system. ) developers the ability to incorporate reliable low-cost Rabbit hardware in lieu of Instead of; in place of; in substitution of. It does not mean in addition to. more expensive PLC systems. Traditional PLC programmers will enjoy programming their new Rabbit-based solutions, using the supplied ISaGRAF programming software, recently upgraded to support Rabbit products. This industrial programming software package supports all of the familiar industrial programming environments listed in the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iec.ch) An organization that sets international electrical and electronics standards founded in 1906. It is made up of national committees from over 60 countries. IEC - International Electrotechnical Commission 61131-3 standard and is currently in use by thousands of PLC programmers worldwide. The Rabbit Embedded PLC Application kit includes ISaGRAF software and the Rabbit BL2500 single board computer, as well as sample application programmes. The ISaGRAF v3.5 workbench is an industrial Soft Logic programming system, supporting six different programming languages. Industrial users of PLC's will be able to use their language of choice and deploy lower-cost Rabbit-based solutions as easily as they implement their traditional PLC systems. The Embedded PLC Application Kit includes all of the hardware and software required to develop a Rabbit-based PLC replacement system. www.rabbitsemiconductor.com |
