PLC open Motion Control by B&R
Reducing development time and cost with standardised motion programming. As industrial automation systems become increasingly complex, software development time and engineering expenses can exceed all other development hurdles. PLCopen offers standard, open motion control function blocks based on the IEC 61131 languages to create efficient, flexible code that is vendor- and product-independent.
