PC Logic Controller Claimed As Industry’s First

July 1, 1999

Claimed as the first PC-based controller to deliver deterministic, true real-time performance—just like a programmable logic controller—while performing multitasking like a PC, the MachineLogic PC Logic Controller combines PC-based open design with the reliability and cost-effectiveness of PLCs. It looks, feels and works like a PLC, it’s claimed, but uses an economical, compact PC platform built around rugged, reliable flash technology.A preemptive, multitasking kernel gives priority to control in performing up to 16 simultaneous tasks.
