Standard equipment: Yaskawa introduces mechatronic control system compatible with IEC 61131-3, PLCopen

摘要

Yaskawa Electric America released MotionWorks IEC Mechatronic Control System, which is compatible with both the IEC 61131-3 and PLCopen control programming standards. "International standards are extremely important for our OEM customers," said John Payne, vice president for research and development at Yaskawa. Payne pointed out that use of standards improves communication compatibility for system integrators who work in multi-vendor environments and makes complex control systems more accessible for maintenance technicians who have to keep them running and for operators who have to use them.
